Does your pup have any allergies or sensitivities? Does your pup require space of their own on walks, away from people, children and other dogs? (this will not deter me from wanting to care for your dog, rather, I want to make sure that your pup is comfortable and feels safe) Do you allow for your pup to be off leash/can they be trusted to return if in a park while playing catch? (I prefer to keep them on the lead, but more active dogs may require more energy to be released during the day)

There is a dog park that is enclosed a block away. It’s not used as often as most dog parks so the dogs are usually by themselves or one other dog. Owners make sure to let others know that they are coming into the dog park in the event that your pup can only be by themselves. While on our walks I like to implement fun ways for your pup to appreciate listening to commands and challenges with the use of small and healthy bits of treats (that you approve of, like tiny bits of carrots) and affection, unless, of course, your pupper has weight or diabetic issues. I would like to be healthier myself so I am getting back into running. If your pup likes to go on runs this would be a great way for both of us to motivate each other to do so. Some pups like to retrieve a kicked and semi-deflated soccer ball, which I have, or tennis balls and other toys. If you have a preferred challenge for your dog to work on, I am willing to continue those lessons and challenges to your liking. Essentially, whatever your preference may be, if you communicate those preferences to me, I am capable in carrying them out.
