Teigun was our dog sitter for years! He started out doing the basics when we was 13 or so when we only had a couple of Catahoulas. As he matured and his dog knowledge increased, so did his responsibilities as our pack grew. Teigun has good "dog sense" and since I was a dog trainer, he was always willing to learn from me how to watch for "pink flags" to intervene before anything serious arose. By the time he had been caring for our dogs, we had 8 and he had watched them many times staying at our house for up to a week. I loved knowing they were freaked out in a kennel and had company in their own environment, including at night. The dogs loved him and he was awesome at caring for them including my elderly dogs or those on medications. I never really worried when Teigun was caring for them. I wish we still lived close so he could continue to watch our dogs - I have yet to find someone that matches his committment and dedication to stand in our place when we are gone. Best of luck to Teigun and from one dog parent to another trust me when I say you will love Teigun and so will your dogs! Darlene C.
