Please let me know how your dog is with people and other dogs so I can plan accordingly. With this, along with any special needs that may not be noticeable. For example, if your dog has hip pain, then I would know not to take that dog for a jog, or a super long walk. I would not want to cause any further pain or discomfort to a dog due to me not knowing of its condition. If your dog does not have the best leash manners I would like to know that beforehand as well, I would not mind working with the dog on that but would prefer to do it at a less busy place! Then of course, if the dog requires any medication I would need to know that beforehand if I need to give them their medication.

I love talking dogs on different routes and to different places to let their sniffer go to work! It can be a good mental exercise for dogs to just sniff around, and if I’m tired of walking it works perfect for the both of us. For more mental simulation I use lick mats for my dogs, and wouldn’t mind using them for others as well. Lick mats provide great mental exercise which can be just as tiring as psychical exercise. For more active dogs, I don’t mind taking them for a little jog! I’m not a pro runner by any means, but I don’t mind running and usually run 1-2 miles, or just walk/run for a set amount of time. I usually like to take dogs to places that are less busy to avoid any bad situations and so I can focus on just the dog and not have to worry about any other factors. If your dog is fine with strangers and other dogs then I also wouldn’t mind taking them to local pet stores to get some attention and a look around!
