    “Grateful to serve the fine canines of my community”
    I promise that while your dog is in my care, I will treat him or her as the special individual he or she is— I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and quirks! My goal is to have a safe and rewarding adventure on every one of my outings with your pup or pack. I grew up with playful Labs, and enjoyed many precious years with an amazing Jindo and loving Australian heeler, all who lived into their golden years; I have experience in positive-reinforcement training and senior dog care.

    Hi My name is Chris. I have been very lucky to grow up in a family that loves dogs. I currently own a pack of 3 ( 80 lb Goldendoodle, 20 lb Poodle mix, 40 lb German Shepard). My German Shepherd is a tripod ( only has 3 legs) and she is trained and certified for dog therapy. As a dog therapy team we visit senior homes, colleges/universities, and medical buildings. I have owned or worked with many different breeds ( Basset Hounds, Labradors, Bullmastiffs, Clumber Spaniel, English Bulldogs, Pit bulls, Airedales, Jack Russel Terriers, Poodles, Doberman Pinchers...) I enjoy walking dogs and training dogs. Thanks!

    “No such thing as a bad dog. Just misunderstood ”
    Hi I'm Victor. I been working with dogs for 13 years. I worked in 3 different doggy daycares in the past and I’ve been walking here with Wag for 6 years now. I took classes in training from beginners to advanced at petsmart. Since then, and even before, I’ve helped a number of friends with their relationships with their dogs and trained them as well. I have been around dogs since I was a kid n realize now just how much I’m connected to this type of work. I am now available for training as well if interested. I can't wait to meet you and your K9 companion!

    “Tire your dog effectively every time! ”
    Hello Pup Parents. I'm Tracy. I've been a domestic animal trainer for over 25 years and also have a degree in veterinary technology. I offer training, walking and sitting services. I specialize in fearful/anxious dogs and leash training. My goal for every walk is to deliver mental stimulation through structure so that your dog is not just getting physical exercise, but instead gets the most out of every walk. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments.

    “I guarantee wagging tails. ”
    I have 15 years of professional experience working with dogs. They are one of my passions and this is why I have certifications in dog training, behavior consulting and pet first aid/cpr. When I am caring for someone else's pet, there is nothing else I would rather be doing. As a pet parent myself, I understand you can’t just trust anyone with your dog. I want to assure you that my priority is keeping your pet safe and giving them the best experience possible.

    “Your dog’s new BFF!”
    Have Treats Will Travel!! 20 years of dog ownership, training sessions, hands on experience and love of dogs is why I am good at this and enjoy it as well. They all have their own personalities and I treat them as individuals. For example I would adjust the pace of the walk or training to suit the dog size, age and breed. I have owned or worked with most of them. From Great Dane to Mexican Chihuahua, German Shepherd to Afghan Hound, French Poodle to Japanese Akita, it doesn’t matter where they are from, what language they speak, or what color they are! Black, white and all colors of the rainbow in between, are all loved here! While with them, I encourage good dog behavior and reward them frequently. I want to be your dog’s Second Best friend. Thank you for giving me the chance to show you and your love one(s) the superior quality of care I can provide!
