Absolutely let me know about existing routines, your dogs favorite treats, toys, sensitive tummy’s or allergies, behavioral concerns, etc before booking! I have experience giving pills, doing insulin injections, and working with reactive/aggressive dogs.

Most days start with breakfast in a puzzle toy, after first potty break! Feeding usually lasts about 30 min, with another 30 min cool down for digestion. Then we go for our first walk, typically quick (30min), just to make sure we got potty done and some morning zoomies out. Back at home we work on relaxation protocol if necessary, or just chill and cuddle if not. Chill time is typically 2-4hrs depending. Afternoon we head outside into a fenced area and play fetch, use the flirt pole, work on commands, focusing on getting energy out in productive ways. If a fenced area is not available, we do most the same inside as space allows. Afternoon playtime typically lasts about 1hr. Relaxation protocol resumes inside, where we chill out for another 2hrs or so. Evening wind down starts with a good long walk; typically 45min-1hr on a trail with a long line. The dog decides the pace, and gets to indulge in every scent and whimsy they want. After the walk, we do some light play and relax for 30min before dinner, again served in a puzzle toy. Between dinner and bedtime, the focus is on relaxing; relaxation protocol, some good chews, and lots of cuddles. Bedtime consists of multiple potty trips, just in case, crating dogs that require crating with blankets and a tough chew, and tucking in those that do not on their beds with a blanket. When applicable, I do also do overnight potty breaks, typically every 4hrs.
