Highlights
Pet care experience
Challenging dogs preferred!
I have always had dogs, and I have always "spoken dog". Your dog is a person (a canine-person) with needs and opinions, who wants to be respected, communicated with, and played with. I own a Red Heeler/Oz Shepherd mix (regarded as challenging breeds) and she never needs to be on a leash as because she is under full voice control, and she became that way through my training, with consistent love, reassurance and positive reinforcement. (Your dog will be leashed as needed, based on their habits, and always following rules/laws). When your dog goes with me, they will be mentally and physically stimulated, they will be loved and respected, and they will always be receiving positive training when they are with me (they will be guided to mind their manners!).
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I am on the job your dog gets my 100% attention. Their happiness (and practicing of good behavior) is my priority. Leashed walk, unleashed walks (as appropriate) playing in the house or yard, formal training as desired... whatever you and your dog are wanting/needing.
Ratings and reviews
Michael is amazing with dogs. He is highly experienced with walking/caring for dogs in any environment. He speaks their language and put the utmost care into figuring out what they need. Highly recommend him.
I absolutely trust Michael with my animals. I have seen the level of care he gives his own dog and the litter of puppies she had. He has a way with animals. They seem to gravity towards him. He understand them, speaks their language. I have left my dog with him for extended periods of time and I think Michael may have taken better care of him than I do. When Michael takes him on walks for the day, he comes back happy and exhausted. I would definitely recommend Michael to take care of all your pet needs

Schedule
I am living part-time in a Redmond apartment with my teenage son to support his soccer career. My primary job is online and schedule is very flexible. Walking dogs is both for nourishing my soul and making extra cash.

- I want to know about your dog! What are they like, what do they like, what are those weird things that make your dog a freak? If their list of "negatives" is pretty long, tell me the list so I have a sense of who it is I'm going to be hanging out with. Those behavioral negatives are a communication of some need dog feels are not being met. (This doesn't mean YOU are doing anything wrong; sometimes it is very hard to know what dog is trying to say!)
