I will always suggest a meet and greet so you can show me exactly how your pet likes to be greeted and how you’d like them to be treated and left at the end of my visit. For safety I like to double leash or use a harness for those without reliable recall if out for a walk. I’d rather do a walk where they get tons of time sniffing then make them heal the whole time. I’m happy to practice skills during my visit that you’ve been working on with them. Otherwise I try to use my time with them to decompress but also use their senses. If I feel they’re bored then I bring treats along to practice exercises like sit to stands or back ups. Sometimes even tossing treats in the yard for them to find is mentally exhausting. With recurring walks I am able to really get to know them and what they enjoy and I try to bring more value to the walks each time with that knowledge.
