I played in the NFL with Floyd Little (sorry, he just passed to Bronco Heaven). From early on in my life I have had dogs, it seems so natural. Dogs have an affinity toward me, which also seems so natural. I have had 6 children and literally dozens of dogs. I dog sit now for my grown children's families. I was a running back so now I want to run with your dog, throw balls (only in dog parks) and understand his/her personality to score points for you when ,on your return, you find your dog has not been sitting on the bench. Please be aware that my daily rate includes walking (pet park, if available) 2/3 x per day, feeding, poop patrol (in yard or out), also water plants, garbage removal and cleaning so it's nice to come home to your home as you left it. I will take pics and email them to you periodically so that you know your best friend is a happy guy/girl. Painting, tree removal, building an addition is an extra fee (joke). I can offer dog training from an individual I know who is very skilled and has trained dogs for military service. Details and resume upon request. Rates about $100/session. You will get results and your dog will love it. Dogs are more comfortable when they understand their role within the family. You and the Trainer work together to achieve the results you desire. It's a great program.
