Dog whisperer

I think it is the connection I make with all doggies. I like to make sure they are very happy to be around me and that they have what ever they need. I adjust my actions to look after senior doggies or puppies and all in between.

Wayne was fantastic. I was a little nervous to leave my 5 month old puppy with someone while I did an art show in Bracebridge but Wayne put me at ease. Wayne was a great communicator and sent me pictures of how Maggie was doing. She was super excited to go back each day.

Wayne took awesome care of our Springer Spaniel, Desmond. From the moment they met, you could tell that Wayne is a dog-person. Desmond immediately took to him and when we left, Dessmond ran off with Wayne and didn't look back. The photos we received throughout the weekend showed Desmond having a huge amount of fun, and getting lots of care and love. He came home contented, tired and clean!! We would highly recommend Wayne and will definitely leave Desmond with him again.

Wayne and his wife were great with our Nala girl. She met friends next door and Wayne has a wonderful property that allows her to run and play. They gave her all their attention and were focused solely on her. She will be going back and we feel very at ease with it.

We couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care that Wayne (aka: Dog Whisperer) and Darlene provided for our Golden Retriever, little lady Luna. She was so terrified and nervous on our drive to drop her off, but from the moment we arrived, it was clear that Wayne had a natural, calming connection with her. He was patient, attentive, and genuinely tuned in to Luna's needs and personality. From the updates he sent us, Luna looked relaxed, happy, and thriving. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, understands their behaviour and brings both professionalism and heart to their work, Wayne is the person you want. We highly recommend him, and will absolutely be calling on him again for Luna. Thank you to both of you for taking such wonderful care our little fur baby! Lausanne and Jason (Jay)

Rambo had a great time visiting again! The excitement he had when we arrived, you could tell he missed them and was excited to stay over🐶 Rambo enjoys swimming and visiting his pup friends there as well!
