Like dogs more than people ?

Pet care experience

No dog is "just a dog' and I think that every dog should be part of the family. I know having a human baby may change the dynamic but one thing it doesn't change is the fact that you are still your dog's everything!!! Thankfully, in many cases your dog will become your baby's best friend & protector! I've had dogs my entire life.I grew up with a collie from the day I was born. I've had collies, GSDs Ridgebacks &, of course rescue mixes. I'm used to large dogs & have experience with problem dogs so I can handle your best buddy with confidence. Your dog(s) will be safe & treated with respect & love not as a chore. I'd treat your dogs as my own. I'm in Yorkville UES NYC

Information Richard G. would like to know about your pet

If you're not a dog person and your dog is "just a dog" WE probably won't get along but your dog & I will! Any quirky habits. It's favorite toy/activity. Anything they don't like or are scared of. I'll walk any breed, but Rhodesian Ridgebacks are my passion! I'm not afraid of any breed. Pitbulls get a bad rap, There are no inherently bad breeds just bad owners.

A typical day

Depends on your location but there's Carl Schurz Park & the prominade. I'm weary of dog parks because, let's face it, there are some... less than brilliant owners out there that can't handle their own dog. However, if there are only 2 or 3 dogs in the park that I recognize I will go in.
