Raised and trained dogs with family

Pet care experience

I've had dogs all my life. All breeds. My favorite being the collie. My mother's side of the family bred and raised GSP and beagles back in Rhode Island for hunting and obedience. I've always loved dogs. Especially my Collie, Goose. I'm also efficient at dog grooming. I was also a trainer for quite a while as well. My preferred method was foreign language commands with associated hand signals. I found that it made taking your dog to a dog park much easier and then when you say a command, your dog would be the only one responding. Which was pretty much the thought process of naming my last dog "Goose". That works well too. My availability is pretty open as of right now. Thanks for reading!

Information Michael R. would like to know about your pet

Some dogs are sensitive about different things like their paws being touched, etc. That's always key to know. I like all breeds of dogs. I've only ran In to problems with poodles and Maltese in my past when I was actively training.

A typical day

The apartment complex is closed off from traffic there is a huge lush green area in the middle with bird feeders and other very friendly dogs. Right around the corner, there is a very quiet neighborhood to go for quiet walks in the evening time. I love to play catch with dogs, especially with the flimsy nylon frisbees.
