Important Questions for Chris
Why should you trust me with your dog?
As a dog owner myself, I would want anyone who interacts with my pup Bowie to treat him with the utmost care and respect. With that in mind, I will treat dogs I hike through Active Dog as if they were my own. I adore animals (and pups in particular) and fully believe that they should be looked after as if they were humans! (Don’t tell anyone but I think pups are most times better than humans!)
What do you enjoy about working at Active Dog?
The chance to be outside in nature and working with dogs is a dream come true! Every time I’ve explained my new job to friends they’ve immediately responded “That’s perfect for you!” To be able to get paid for something I do for pleasure means that I have found the perfect gig!
What did you do before you worked at Active Dog and why did you decide to work with dogs?
For the previous eight years I was a middle school Theatre teacher in Harlem, NY. While I really enjoyed working with the students, I desired something that would fulfill my soul in a more personal way. I’ve always looked at dogs as being ideal creatures who bring true joy to those around them and relish the chance to work with them on a daily basis.
