My name is Arash, and I am currently a PhD student in systems security at Concordia University. I have over ten years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, and working with them has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up loving dogs and learning from them, and over the years I’ve become especially comfortable and confident handling large and high-energy breeds. Strength, calmness, and clear communication matter with big dogs, and those are qualities I bring consistently. I’m familiar with basic behavioral guidance, using calm energy, consistency, and structure to help dogs feel balanced and secure. 

I currently share my life with my own dog, Lana, a beautiful German Shepherd–Husky mix, so I fully understand the daily responsibility, and emotional connection that come with proper dog care. Dogs are not just pets to me. I genuinely believe each breed and personality has something to teach us about patience, loyalty, boundaries, and presence. Being around dogs makes me a better, more grounded human. 

I love long walks, nature, and forest trails, and I’m especially happy caring for dogs who need physical activity and mental engagement. Turning this passion into meaningful work feels like the perfect combination for me.
