Backwards Dog

On Feb. 28, 2011, a little furry bundle of joy came into our lives in the form of an adorable two-​month-​old Olde English Bulldogge. We named him Indy, short for Indiana Jones. He changed our life, in both positive and negative ways, but mostly positive. A puppy is no joke. From potty-​training to teething, it’s like having a baby who will always be a baby and will never learn to speak. A lot of responsibility, a lot of confusion, a lot of research online to come up with no viable suggestions. Enter Josh Edwards of Backward Dog. From the very first time I spoke to Josh on the phone, I felt confident and at ease that he would be the man to help us tame Indy. And boy, did Indy need taming. We purchased a package from him for a very reasonable fee. We met with Josh weekly and Indy learned about everything from potty-​training to walking on a leash to sit, stay, give me your paw (now the other paw)…you get the idea. As a present at the end of our eight sessions, Josh gave us two professional portraits of Indy sitting regally atop a bed of grass. We just about died, we were so tickled. Moving forward, we also purchased walking packages from Josh. We trusted Josh so much that we gave him a key to our apartment in the Grove. He has never let us down. One time, my boyfriend was rushed to the hospital unexpectedly and we had no one to let Indy out while we were tied up at the hospital. Josh was in Key Biscayne, but promised to come relieve our boy as soon as he was done there. Josh has also taken care of Indy when we’ve been out of town for as long as one week. We totally love Backwards Dog and we are so grateful for Josh. Whether you need to train a dog, young or not-​so-​young, or you’d like to board your dog in a safe home, or you just need a few walks here and there… let Backwards Dog help you. You really won’t regret it! Indy says so himself.
