Dog's Routine: Tell me about your dog's daily routine, including feeding times, exercise routines, and any specific habits or preferences. Sticking to their regular schedule can help reduce stress and anxiety. Health and Medical Needs: Make me aware of any medical conditions the dog may have, such as allergies, medications, or special dietary requirements. It's important to know the contact information for the dog's veterinarian in case of emergencies. Behavior and Training: Help me understand the dog's behavior and any specific training commands they respond to. Are there any behavioral issues or triggers I should be aware of? Knowing how to handle these situations is crucial for safety. Feeding Instructions: This includes portion sizes and dietary restrictions. Inform me of food allergies or sensitivities. Exercise Needs: Let me know of your dog's exercise requirements. If they need long walks or frequent playtime, let me know so I can plan my schedule accordingly to provide ample physical activity. Comfort Items: Does your dog have any favorite toys, blankets, or comfort items that make them feel at ease? If so, having these items on hand can help reduce stress. House Rules: Is your dog allowed on furniture? Are there any restricted areas in the home? I do my best to mimic what your dog is used to. Emergency Plan: Let's make sure we have a plan for handling emergencies, including medical emergencies, lost dogs, or other unforeseen situations.

Here are some fun activities I love to do with dogs and some special places for walks: Interactive Playtime: Engaging dogs in interactive play is essential for their physical and mental well-being. Activities like fetch, tug-of-war, and hide-and-seek can be a lot of fun. I often use toys like frisbees, tennis balls, and puzzle toys to keep them entertained. Nature Walks: Taking dogs for walks in natural settings like parks, forests, or along scenic trails can be incredibly stimulating for them. The new sights, sounds, and smells provide mental enrichment and exercise. Dog Parks: If your dog is well-socialized and enjoys interacting with other dogs, a visit to a local dog park can be a fantastic outing. It allows them to run freely, play with other dogs, and burn off excess energy. Training Sessions: Incorporating short training sessions during your time with your dog can be both fun and mentally stimulating. I'd love to teach them new tricks, work on basic obedience, or practice agility exercises. Water Fun: If the weather allows, some dogs love water activities. If your dog fits this, taking them to a dog-friendly beach or letting them splash around in a shallow stream or kiddie pool can be a refreshing adventure. Quiet Time: It's also important to provide dogs with some downtime. After all the activities, they may appreciate some relaxing moments, whether it's cuddling on the couch, enjoying a belly rub, or just lying in the sun. Customized Activities: I tailor the activities to the dog's preferences and energy level. Some dogs may prefer a leisurely stroll, while others thrive on more active adventures. By offering a variety of fun and engaging activities, I can ensure that your dog(s) will have a memorable and enjoyable time!
