A Dog's Best Friend!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I've loved dogs since I can remember and have raised 2 dogs through all stages of their lives- Rocky an Aussie/Spaniel mix and Prince a Coton de Tulear and currently have a young Goldendoodle and senior German Shepherd. Having grown up around all kinds of breeds from working dogs to the most devoted of family pets - my heart is open to most all furry friends! I've walked, trained and cared for dogs for family and friends and can help with anything from puppy training (crate, potty, obedience, leash) to providing structure, enrichment and lots of clear, loving guidance to dogs of all ages and various temperaments! Hope to meet you soon! I walk each dog as if they were my own 🐾😄

First walk with Zahran. Pictures were great. My dog seemed chill lol Explanation of his experience was precise. His profile seemed really responsible and professional, so I’ll be booking him a few times in a row to see how my dog takes to him

I can't say enough good things about Zahran as a dog trainer! From the moment I decided to get a puppy, he was there to guide me every step of the way. Being a bachelor with a busy lifestyle, he helped me choose the perfect puppy for my home and provided professional crate and command training that has made a world of difference. Thanks to Zahran, I now have a calm and confident golden retriver who is an absolute joy to be around. My Bruno regularly receives compliments from strangers all the time on how well-behaved he is, and it's all thanks to Zahran's expertise. What sets Zahran apart is his wealth of knowledge and experience, which he effortlessly shares in a way that's easy to understand and apply. He's not just a trainer; he's a true dog whisperer. If you're looking for a dog trainer who will make the journey enjoyable and effective, Zahran is your guy. I can't recommend him enough!

Zahran is so intentional and excellent with dog sitting/training. I had to leave my puppy with him, due to having to go out of town last minute, and I felt so confident that Banks was in the right hands. I received updates and pictures/videos of my pup throughout my whole trip. He was so knowledgeable of my pup and things to help him grow and thrive! I truly believe there is no one better or more caring on Rover! I feel so lucky to have found Zahran as our pet sitter!

You’ll never have to worry about leaving your furry friends with Zahran. As soon as you meet him you’ll know they’re in great hands. He’s a wonderful, attentive person who is a natural with all kinds of dogs. There’s no doubt that Zahran is a knowledgeable and excellent trainer, he’s so intuitive to their needs, behaviours and personalities that he easily develops a bond and level of understanding with them. He will absolutely go the extra mile to take care of your pet - shown through his reliability, professionalism and genuine love of animals that reassures you they’ll be taken care of like his own. You truly couldn’t be in better hands, and your dogs are guaranteed to have the best time, with the right balance of structure, training, fun and affection. Would 1000% recommend time and time again.

Safety, trust & environment

I live near a multitude of great parks, neighborhoods and trails to take your dog(s) on fulfilling and stimulating walks or out to play and explore. I have one well socialised and trained young pup of my own who loves to play and can keep up with even the most energetic dog. I also have access to a fenced yard with plenty of room for off-leash fun if and when needed! I aim to give dogs what they need to have happiness and success in life - which includes stimulating exercise, routined feeding, obedience games/training as well as structured crate sessions or watch tv on the couch to unwind and relax!

Information Zahran A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has a set routine for feeding/a feeding schedule, whether you like them crated at certain times during the day as well as any medical needs they may have, or anything I need to keep an eye out for (such as allergies, injuries or any such special needs). I also like being transparent about specific behavioral traits your dog may have, such as reactivity to people, dogs or any other stimuli.

A typical day

I would love taking your dog for a nice walk through my uptown neighbourhood either through Oak Lawn, by Highland Park or even a nice long stroll through Katy trail. I know a bunch of great parks with plenty of room to play fetch or even go on a nice stimulating sniffari. I also love playing a nice confidence building game of tug as well as running through basic obedience to always keep the pups I watch stimulated mentally as well as physically!
