I'm a registered nurse and have one dog at home, we are always hiking somewhere. If you have a high energy dog I'd be happy to take them on a long hike with my dog. I have a fenced in backyard with a dog door so they can come and go as they please. I have had a dog in my life since I was a kid so I have a lot of experience with animals. If your dog is trained off leash that would be fantastic. I am very flexible with times and walks. I will provide reinforcement to training you have already given your pooch My dog is a 7 year old Weimaraner that is very friendly and docile, I have not found a dog that he has not gotten along with.
