About Matthew

I have been living with, caring for, and training dogs for over 20 years now. I have worked at 2 different humane societies, in 2 different countries, caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I currently volunteer at the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland, where I volunteer my time to walk dogs there. I am a "purple" walker which is the highest-ranking volunteer possible at the ARLGP. To get a purple rating, you must pass a certification test given to you by the paid staff at ARLGP. Dogs run my life, and I know that they can run other people's lives, so I want to take most of the burden off others who do not feel comfortable bringing their precious puppy to doggy daycare. I will provide in-home care and training, including behavioral training, on or off-leash. I will provide your dog(s) with a walk every morning and/or night to give them the exercise necessary to live a long, healthy life.
