Having worked at the MSPCA Angell Memorial, I've gained experience in all directions. I've given medications (eye, ear, oral), provided walks, did doggy daycare, and took care of cats. Having my own cats (3) and dogs (2), I have experience in my day to day life with decision making and keeping my babies safe and happy. I also manage a doggy daycare, so when I'm not home engaging with my pets I'm at work doing the same thing! I believe in positive reinforcement, but also using the proper tools for walks and training (whatever that is that you use). I have experience with prong collars, martingales, harnesses of many varieties, flat collars, easy walks, gentle leaders, etc. Practicing safe walks is my #1 concern, to ensure the dog is safe, happy, and not liable to escape.
