I focus on casual mentally stimulating neighborhood walk! Lot's of sniffs and exploring. I use positive reinforcement based training, and have been working with certified dog trainers on training basics and handling of fearful/anxious/reactive dogs. My only preference is to use body harnesses for all (when possible) dogs. If you do not have one, I can provide one. I employ low stress handling techniques using food lures to harness dogs that may be head shy. Most of my experience is with big or medium sized dogs, but I am confident working with any size/breed. I'm an all around animal lover and will do my best to make your pups as happy as I can. I am very patient and have plenty of experience with all sorts of animals. I come stocked with treats to share or you are welcome to provide your own. Cats: I currently have 3 rescue cats, Castile, Hunter, and Kevin T. Two former feral cats, that my partner and I have been helping gain confidence. With time, patience, and space, they've come a long way. With that said, I have experience with handling shy/fearful kitties, I also have experience medicating them when needed. Let me know what your cat's favorite treats are, and I will have them ready! More about me :) I'm a full-time walker/sitter living in West Oakland. I grew up with many animals as part of the family and at the ranch I grew up on. I've worked with all sorts of animals from dogs, cats, parakeets, rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows! Got a goat or cow that needs milking? I'm your man for that too! My boyhood dog of almost 17 years was named Kiser. He was a German Shepherd/Husky mix ,and the best dog a human could ever ask for!! I look forward to setting up a meet and greet with you and your pet! Once we have a date set up, I will send you a questionnaire to get to know your pet more, before we meet.
