Please let me know any pertinent behaviors or medical concerns before meeting. Most important questions to me are: How would your dog react to me as a stranger? If they are shy or uncomfortable with new people, what tends to work best when meeting them for the first time? Does your dog have any reactivity (barking, pulling, tenseness) while on leash? If so, what are they reactive to? (Other dogs, kids, squirrels, bikes, etc.) Do they have any medications that need to be administered? And lastly, what makes your dog feel the most comfortable while on walks or in the home?

Every dog is different-let me know what your little one likes and we’ll go from there! I have years of experience creating homemade puzzle toys and enrichment items with treats and toys to keep your little loved one busy for hours. Walks would include enrichment “sniff around” time, as well as exercise fitting the dog’s needs. If you have a place around your house that you’d like me to walk, we’ll go there! If you want then to have a little bit of new scenery, I can secure them in a made-for-dogs seatbelt in my car and we’ll go on a little adventure together! My personal favorite place to go are a few different parks with minimal people, and other dogs to prevent reactivity or unwanted meetings. If you’d like, I can do enrichment and training while on the walks, working on loose-leash walking, staying focused, and tricks. However, if your baby is a “go go go!” kind of walker, that’s fine too. I’m comfortable walking or running to tire your little one out as much as possible.
