Exercise, Play and Walk your dog !!
Pet care experience
I have owned and cared for dogs for the past 17 years. I love all breeds big and small and have been fortunate to love and care for my Rottweiler, German Shepherd and Pit-mix. I am certified in Animal Behavior Studies and train all my dogs using Positive reinforcement and always staying calm and relaxed. I worked in an animal shelter for 3 years and was asked to take home "the worst dog" to see if I could train her for adoption, ( she was returned to the shelter 3 times!!!) Needless to say, I fell in love with her and she became an addition to our family as well as a "demo" dog at the shelter to showcase her training !! Taking long walks and hikes with my dog(s) helps me to appreciate the world around me. I am a true believer, and thru my experience with training that a well exercised dog is a well balanced dog !! The relationship between animals and humans is so valuable and I love to learn from them, yup, I have learned so much from them over the years. All my walks incorporate ( if needed ) a level of training: sitting calmly while we exit the home, sitting and staying at corners/ busy intersections and not pulling on leash. I do not just walk dogs, I engage them while we are walking making sure they are exercised and have FUN at the same time!!!
Reviews
I would give Kris more stars if I could. She is everything we wanted and more as our Sophie’s walker. Loving Attentive Timely Sends pic upon arrival and departure Trained to stay and come Kris is exceptional and I would definitely use her again!
What makes Kris special...alot of things! But when it comes to dogs, she just has a very special way with them! She truly has a special place in her heart for all things furry and they sense it as soon as they meet her! She is responsible, punctual, loving, kind and combined with her animal behavior background you'll know your dog is in good competent hands!
