Are you looking for a dog walker who understands dog psychology?

Many dog walkers today walk dogs simply for petty cash and get easily frustrated with "problem dogs" who don't have proper leash manners.

I am a student of Cesar Millan's tactics, and have studied his episodes, books, and even seminars since 2003. I am a graduate of NYU's College of Arts & Sciences '09, and I am currently training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in downtown NYC.

My purpose as a dog walker is to teach dogs proper leash manners, which include walking beside or behind people, no pulling, tugging, and stopping, and no smelling and sniffing obsessively. Issues of dog aggression I address using my personal dog, a socially well-behaved and balanced Siberian Husky. I do not use client's dogs to socialize other dogs, unless they are both deemed social and friendly by me or if requested to be walked with other dogs pack-style.

My walks range from one hour to three hours, depending on the dog's energy level(s), and I charge by sessions, $20.00. I do not charge by the hour, because, to dogs, time doesn't mean much! Whether it takes 1 hour 30 minutes or 3 hours, all is the same. The only thing that matters to me is that your dog gets his/her exercise and disciplining.

The only thing I ask of clients is to have a one-on-one talk with me, either via email or phone or in person to make sure that my practices are consistent with theirs. It takes a consistent effort and routine to teach dogs, and people alike, proper manners and behaviors.

    I highly recommend Jason!!! And this means a lot coming from someone that does a crazy amount of research and always wants the best of the best.

    Although I just began working with Jason, I can tell that I made the right choice. I had met with various dog walkers prior to deciding on Jason. A majority of them just did not give me the best vibes and they seemed more concerned with pulling in new clients than they did with my dog's well being. Jason, right from the start, was very focused and in tune with my dog Butters and seem genuinely interested in correcting her quirkqy habits.

    Get out there, meet a few walkers, as I feel that it is important to meet the person who will be spending a lot of time with your dog. However, I can promise that you will come back to Jason. He is great and I can tell he puts in a lot of care and effort into workin with Butters from his follow ups. Hire him! Your dog will love you more for it; and is that not what we all want in life, for our dogs to love us more =)

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I am not just a dog walker, I am a dog psychologist. I also train people in order to help dogs correct "problem" behaviors.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. I love dogs and dog psychology. My passions include dogs, sociology, and brazilian jiu-jitsu, all of which I do for fun and/or for a living.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. How old are you? I am 24 years old.

How do you charge? I charge by sessions. Each session can last anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours, depending on your dog's energy level and/or mood. Each session costs $20. You can have one or two sessions, and if requested, three per day. Occasionally I will accept boarding if my client needs to go away for a few days and their dog has no place to stay.
