I always bring treats with me, because it helps me with the pets. When I come to their house dogs are always nervous, but when I offer a treat they come to me and love walking with me. When they see me they say to themselves. "Hey its Amy, I like Amy, lets got for a walk Amy". See they pets love me. :) The people on my block knows me as the "dog lady". The reason why the knew me as the "dog lady" is because I walk my two dogs 2- 3 times a day around the neighborhood. I own a Short Hair Pointer (Bud) and a Weimaraner (Sadie). If you give me a chance to walk your dog, you will not regret it, because I treat the dogs just like my friends (or at least close to it :) Travis helps watches the dogs at our house. Thank you and hope to meet your dog soon. Thank you, Amy
