Hello, my name is Shoval :) I'm a professional dog trainer, behavior consultant, and canine explosives/narcotics detection instructor. I currently live in Bala Cynwyd, PA and am more than happy to provide a comfortable and safe home away from home for your precious dog. I understand the importance of finding a reliable dog sitter whom you can trust! I guarantee that your baby will get lots of love, be well taken care of, and enjoy long walks and play time while you're gone. I live in a spacious home with my 10-year old female Belgian Malinois. She is calm, great with other dogs, and loves having new friends stay over! I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs. I began in 2010 as a combat canine handler and commander in the Israel Defense Force, handling and training explosive and weapons material dogs. After my 3 year service, I was fortunate enough to bring my beautiful canine back home with me to Philadelphia! It was certainly a tough transition from the military to a comfortable and retired city-living lifestyle. Together, we worked extremely hard on her training and socialization skills, and I can truly say that all of our hard work has paid off. I am so proud of her and all that she has been through to become the incredible and friendly dog that she is today! During my time in Philadelphia, I worked for a dog walking company for 9 months in the Rittenhouse area. I provided individual exercise to over 20 dogs, specialized in training for obedience and aggression, fulfilled every clients' specific instructions, and recorded and updated each pet profile daily. I was also an intern at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center for 6 months where I assisted in the training of law enforcement canines, aided veterinarians in physical exams and various treatments, and developed a strong understanding of animal psychology. Upon graduating from Drexel University, I moved to West Palm Beach, Florida where I worked at an elite dog training company as the on-site trainer and detection handler. Today, I continued to pursue my passion for caring and training dogs. I am so excited to meet your pup and I promise that he/she will be in good hands! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have!
