I have a disarming personality that helps me to quickly put dogs at ease and develop a trusting bond. I have a gentle voice and friendly affect which dogs pick up on shortly after we meet. I'm the guy at family events, which includes all canine members, that spends more time surrounded by a gathering of our dogs than I do talking to the humans of the family. Although I haven't walked dogs professionally, I have been the first one asked by friends and family who need someone to take care of their dogs. Both family and friends are often amazed by how easily their dogs are drawn to me. In fact, some of them have taken to calling me the dog whisperer. I am very proud that they feel that way about me.
