Pros 4 Dogs

Yatir seriously knows dogs. Whether it’s training, walking or hiking he has shared so many insights with me that are fantastic in regard to my rescue dog. I highly recommend him as he is very professional and helpful. I will be using him from now on and my dog truly adores him. And he barks at everyone! I give Yatir and his company 5 woofs!

My little dog Bob is 12 years old and has never been with anyone but family before. A last minute changed forced me to find someone to watch him over Christmas and New Years. I was in a panic with only 1 day to sort it out. After reading Yatir’s reviews and speaking with him I decided to place my beloved companion in his care. Yatir was amazing. He sent me photo and video updates daily, and showed a genuine love for all the animals in his care. I feel very blessed to have had Yatir care for Bob in my absence and I am sure you will feel the same. Thanks Yatir. :)

We just hired Yatir and he went way beyond our expectations! Our chihuahua mix can be very difficult when she’s meeting new people, especially when they come to the house. He spent a week (free of charge… who cares enough to do that!?) coming over to help get her comfortable with him before they began walks. He was so patient and had great tips so we could help support him. He’s very responsive, communicative and passionate about pups. I don’t think we’re going to be taking her back to doggy daycare now that we found Yatir. Very happy!

Yatir is my first dog walker I have ever had. He has been very patient and flexible with my work schedule. I have had to schedule and cancel last minute walks due to client appointments or cancellations. I am very grateful to have such a professional dog walker. He always texts back promptly and gives me an update on how my pup is doing. Yatir texted photos too. I absolutely love my pup, she is my rock, and I trust Yatir to take care of my pup the way I do. Therefore, I recommend Yatir for your lovely pup as well. Cheers!

Yatir is a great dog walker… he just had to move too far away!!!

I’ve known Yatir since 2011 and trust him completely with my beloved fur babies. I have a ton of friends with pets and have recommended him to them as well! He’s professional, friendly, fun, GREAT with animals and takes his business very seriously.
If you need somebody you can rely on — call him! Yatir and his Pros 4 Dogs team are amazing.
Thanks for EVERYTHING Yatir!

Yatir is a great dog walker. He’s experienced, professional and reliable. Good dog walkers that actually take their job seriously are very hard to find and Yatir is definitely one of the best. The communication is great and his experience with all dogs, including special needs is beyond compare. This isn’t just a job for him, its his life and he truly cares about you and your dogs needs.

I have 4 dogs and a couple of cats (I know crazy animal lady!) Caring for my animals while I’m away is no easy task. I am also a former pet sitter as well so I am very particular about the care that I expect. The reason I chose to stick with Yatir and Pros 4 Dogs is that he takes this business very seriously and is passionate about the best care possible for the pets. He is very open in communication while I am away and I never feel worried and wondering about the level of care. Yatir is a dog owner himself and I know he understands the needs of the wonderful creatures!!! Also, the convenience of working with him is a plus. He provided a lock box and I am able to schedule easily online and pay this way as well. I would highly recommend Pros 4 Dogs and I hope to see this business prosper as it is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of working with!!!

I’ve trusted my fur baby with pros 4 dogs since 2008 and they’ve been amazing! Though I don’t live in the area anymore, my pup loves Yatir and I fully trust my boy in his care. Yatir and his team are passionate and knowledge about what they do, there’s no one better if you need walking, boarding or training. Thanks pros 4 dogs, Lask misses you all!
One last point, in response to the 1 negative review posted here regarding the implied use of prong collars on all dogs under the care of Pros 4 Dogs: A few years ago, Yatir asked me to help screen some of the new trainers he was considering with my pup since he’s extremely nervous every with new people and would be a great litmus test for a new trainer. I met 2 different trainers during this session, one who used prong collars and the other who didn’t. Following the session, both Yatir and I agreed that during the session with the prong collars, it was apparent that my dog was not responding well and we were disappointed to see that the trainer did not recognize this and correct his approach. The second trainer on the other hand, noticed immediately his fearfulness and instead focused on rewarding good behavior with 0 prong collar which my dog responded to much better and ultimately resulted in moving forward with this particular trainer. I know for a fact that Yatir and the pros 4 dogs team want the best for your pet and will work with you to tailor their services to be both positive and effective.

We use Pros 4 Dogs for dog walking services. They’re great! Their communication is fantastic and they are very dependable. Whether we schedule something or need them last minute, they haven’t let us down. We’ve tried other dog walking services and so far we’ve been happiest with Yatir and his crew.

I really enjoyed Yatir as my dog walker– he’s knowledgable, caring, and dependable. My dogs loved him! I moved and no longer needed his services :(

My mom took ill and I decided to take on her dog as no one else in the family wanted the responsibility. As I have a very demanding job I was very overwhelmed with my decision. A friend recommended me to Pros 4 Dogs and my life changed. A more reliable, loving and incredibly responsible person showed up at my door step… Yatir. without him and his team I would not be able to do my job or have a social life. He treats my dog as if it is his own and will never have anyone else walk my dog. I TRUST HIM with my love of my life. Lucky!

We had to leave the town for two weeks and had to find a good place for our dog Charlie. Safety was the most important factor for us. We wanted to make sure we’re leaving our dog with the best, most responsible dog walker we could find.
Yatir was not only giving us piece of mind knowing that our dog is safe, but we knew he’s also having a lot of fun! He even sent us pictures while we were away.
Thank you!
Elad.

I’ve used Pros 4 Dogs for 4 years now. Yatir handles his business in the most professional way. All of his dog walkers are competent and end up falling in love with our dog, Gigi. I know Gigi has loved all of them because she is sooooooo happy when they arrive at the house for her hike, and is super tired when she gets home. Yatir also watches Gigi overnight often, and even gets her cleaned before she comes home. Yatir is reliable, resonsible, and dog-​gone cool. If you need a dog walker, I’d hands down recoomend Pros for Dogs.

Love Yatir almost as much as my dogs do. I am a Registered Vet Tech and trust Pros 4 Dogs completely. You know right away when you talk to the owner that he is completely passionate about what he does and has a TRUE love of animals. I recommend Pros 4 Dogs with complete confidence! Give them a try– you will not regret it!

My husband and I work long hours and are so happy we have Yatir and his Pros 4 Dogs company to walk our two pups. He’s wonderful with them and they light up whenever they hear him at the door. Pros 4 Dog is reliable and affordable, and very accommodating when our schedules change. I don’t know what we’d do without them!

When I started a new job, I needed to find a dog walker that would be able to handle my genuinely sweet Chihuahua who has a little bit of a bad boy exterior. Despite being a seven pound pooch with the face of an angel, he can freak a lot of people out with his aggressive barking, snapping and jumping. After putting him in a four week training program at Lockwood Canine (which I also 100% recommend– Julie is a true genius), I was recommended to Pros 4 Dogs. The owner, Yatir, came with Julie from Lockwood Canine. Immediately I was impressed by his love and respect for dogs. I had no problem trusting him and he knew exactly the way my dog needed to be walked in order to reinforce his training. Yatir has gone above and beyond to meet the needs of my fur baby and has accommodated my busy work schedule time after time. My dog is now being walked by Kory, a new member to the team. At first I was devastated to lose Yatir (yes, he was walking my dog, not me, but his friendly texts and frequent photos of my dog blissfully rolling in the grass on their walks) and of course, nervous that I couldn’t find that quality in another dog walker. Wrong! Kory shadowed Yatir for a couple weeks before he took over. By the time he went solo, my dog was acting more like Kory’s BFF than a drunk frat boy yelling «Hey, Butthead!» from across the quad. It’s safe to say that, if you’re a dog owner with a busy schedule, your main concern is whether or not your pup is happy and well taken care of even when you can’t be there. Pros 4 Dogs has given me that peace of mind and at a reasonable rate. Couldn’t be more thankful for Yatir and his team.

RE: The review from July 4^th 2012 — so silly! I’ve been going to this dog park for years, I know the large dog she’s referring to and he’s as sweet as they come, he’s at the dog park almost every day. I have also known Yatir for quite some time, he’s very responsible and attentive to his dogs and to his clients needs and he’s the only one I trust with my dog when I go out of town myself!
I was there on 4^th of July when that «fight» happened, the lady is exaggerating, it tookYatir 5 seconds to grab his dog and break the scuffle, the lady and her husband were just hysterical, they need to understand that dogs will be dogs and sometime these things happen, especially when it’s a stressed out dog and and a hysterical owner like she was… I have never seen her in the park before, never saw her after that day, and I doubt that there was ever any blood drawn.
I trust Pros 4 Dogs.

I highly recommend Pros 4 Dogs. Yatir, the owner, understands the concept of tough-​love when it comes to working with the dogs. You can tell he cares deeply for them but he also understands the proper techniques to correct bad behavior. He is firm but loving with his approach. Another reviewer said that he is too aggressive… I disagree. My best friend has a Hovawort with a biting problem and she had been advised by someone else to use a shock collar on him. But Yatir said the shock collar was a last resort and recommended several other, gentler, approaches first.
He is very professional and responds to phone calls and emails right away. He is great at explaining his services and rates. He will arrange a meet and great with you and whoever will be walking your dog… but I like that he shows up too, so that you know everyone you will be dealing with personally.

I’m not a fan of his methods at all. He’s a bit too aggressive and believes in, and uses chain/​prong collars.
I prefer the gentle way… just working with the dog without causing them pain…
And yes, Yatir… I’ve used your services. I choose to remain anonymous. Not recommended, I’m sorry… nothing personal!
