I have been sitting and walking a dog with separation anxiety for the past several weeks. When boarding, he whimpers whenever he is left alone in a room. When going out for walks, he forcefully pulls to go back inside. He whimpers at the sight of cars and other people often. I have suggested to the owner that the dog goes to puppy school (he is only 7 months old). The dog got into a fight with a racoon while on a camping trip with his owner - so perhaps this trauma is making his anxiety worse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What do you do if the owner assumes you will meet them for every meet and greet at their house? For example, the owner told me to drop his dog off at his apartment without him being home (I have a key to his apartment as I walk his dog daily). I always offer to pick up and drop off his dog.

A dog boarded in my home for 2 overnights (a full 48 hours). Is it reasonable to charge extra for 3 walks per day? Or does the boarding fee benchmark include these types of services?
