Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements. Are their specific behaviors I should know about? How are they with other dogs if one approaches while on a walk? Are you working on any new skills that we can practice together? Does your dog have difficulty with separation anxiety? I’m a soon to be psychologist but cannot provide therapy ;) However, are there other things that help during those situations?

We will have so much fun! Typically, and especially with new dogs, I’ll spend time making sure that your dog feels safe and has a chance to explore their new environment. Once comfortable, we will go for a walk to calm any nerves/jitters and to get some energy out. We will either walk in the paved neighborhood, walk a trail in the pine bush (right in my backyard), or (if you’re comfortable) can take a drive for longer hikes. Playing ball and other games is also part of our typical routine. I’m experienced in behavioral training and often will practice your dogs skills with reinforcement. Is your friend learning any new tricks or skills? Let me know and we can work on them :)
