Safety, trust & environment

I mainly follow the instructions of the pet parent. Whatever they do at home that is routine, I try to follow that routine as well. By that I mean, walking and feeding their fur baby at the scheduled times every day, making sure they are hydrated. I play with them as often as I can .

Information Akiko G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the basic things like temperament, their good and bad habits and what to avoid so that the dog is comfortable and safe in whatever environment we happen to be in. I find it important to know things that scary the dog and what makes it really happy as well. If anything the past the dog has as well is important to me, in case of trauma the dog is going through!

A typical day

My go to are parks and dog friendly play areas depending on the breed. big / small dogs that love to play with others will mostly go to the enclosed areas so I can monitor them off leash. For the dogs that are more shy and like to enjoy their walks will mostly stay with me on leash enjoying the gassy areas ! Occasionally Ill jog with the dogs depending on the breed and age!

Akiko was super calm and gentle with Moana and we could tell she really responded to her energy, which is great for her anxiety. Can't wait to work with her again!
