Oh yes, the more information the better! What kind of training have they had, are they ok with other dogs, strangers, etc. What time or day do they usually eat, are they high or low energy, do they have any behavioral issues, anything that frightens them/makes them feel unsafe, are they reactive on leash? Off leash? do’s, dont’s, preferences, personality, again, the more I know the better and the easier it will be for me to tailor our time together to fit their needs and give them the best experience I possibly can.

This depends on the dog of course, but typically a walk on leash to a park with lots of loves, pets and of course treats for good behavior, would be first up with rehydration along our route and some cool down time and refueling once puppers has expended some energy. If our lil friend is tired then we head back home to chill, we can always explore more a little later. Lots of potty and sniff breaks of course. If the owner wants to work on some behavioral issues or commands then we’ll incorporate that into our timeline/day with, again, plenty of (owner approved), treats!! I always carry water, treats and some kibbie when we’re exploring. I like to hit the Quintara stairs since it’s close to my house which leads to some small trails and the golden gate heights park. If we’re caring for a senior boy or a wee one then a brisk walk around the neighborhood or a drive to the park may be in order. It just depends on age, mobility, energy level, likes, dislikes, his/her preferences, etc. bottom like it should be a fun/comfortable and positive experience for our furry friend.
