Hello. I am Mike. I've had dogs all of my life and each one has taught me to be a better dog-handler and trainer. The bond we build with our dogs is very special and I enjoy working with them and seeing them live their best life.

I am a mature adult (prefer not to say “old”) and now commit more time to working with dogs.

EXPERIENCE

I participate in competitive obedience and scent-work, where I enjoy seeing my dogs and those of my clubmates progress.

I am a search and rescue dog handler and am passionate about the great work our canine friends do.

I have also served for several years on the board of a service dog organisation, and have learned lots from service dog training approaches and standards.

And of course, I walk. Rain or shine, the dogs and I enjoy walking and keeping fit.

DOG WALKING

I would be happy to discuss your dog’s needs. I walk strictly on-lead and promote happy loose lead walking. 

My vehicle is equipped with 3 transport crates so I can walk near your home or transport to local forest paths, etc.

I am available M-F during your busy work days and can give your dog a bit of a stretch and some adventure.

HOME VISITS

I am available to drop-in and give your pet a garden break and check on food and water as required at strategic times that fit your schedule.

Thanks for looking!
