positivity+happiness for your dog!!
Pet care experience
I've always had dogs in my life, and admittedly I probably love dogs more than humans. I enjoy giving dogs lots of positive reinforcement and watching them get excited knowing they did good. I owned/lived with a corgi, starting as a puppy, for three years, and was able to learn so much about how to teach tricks, potty training, how to be a leader for her, etc. That experience got me to put in a lot of time researching and understanding how to properly take care of dogs. Like how to positively reinforce things that you want your dog to do, and not negatively reacting when they make mistakes. Just being patient, and also not overloading a dog with new information, is key. Also recently have been walking my brother's dog, and she has quickly picked up on not pulling on the leash, and am now focusing keeping her focused when distractions are around.
Reviews
Justin is a very caring and responsible pet friend. He would make sure that your pet is safe while walking them on their leash or while doggie sitting at their home. Justin is very punctual and realizes how important it is to our doggie friends that we be on time. Justin would also be very good at training while walking Just for the fun of it. If you have Justin look over your loved pets you will be very happy with your choice. Sincerely, Judy Mohler

A typical day
I prefer taking dogs outside during sessions and going on walks, and then depending on your dogs stamina/time of session, I like to come back, get your dog water, time to relax and play a bit if your dog likes to, Then going for one more smaller walk, giving lots of positive reinforcement the whole day. At home I like to go through tricks they know, as well as playing games that they like (tug-of-war, fetch, etc.) and relaxing while close to them is nice as well.
