I'm an active human looking for any four-legged friend who wants to tromp around the neighborhood with me! I recently fostered a beautiful standard poodle who found his forever home and I'm missing our many daily walks. I've learned so much during my foster time (proper training and patience for anxiety, how to be a confident leader for my dog, and positive reinforcement) and would love to share my experience while caring for your pup. My family in CO has dogs and love when Auntie Beth comes to visit because they get extra exercise and loves in their daily routine. My Seattle friends often call me to dog-sit or grab their furbaby for a run. Dogs are fascinating and I love learning their personalities. They have a language all their own and it takes us special humans to understand their ways of communicating. It's a beautiful world when you have a buddy who can share it with you. Now that I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and love to take walks to break up the day. I also understand the importance of exercise in a dog's daily routine and advocate for that care. If you need the extra help, I'm here for you! I will always lead with my heart and understand the importance of being patient and kind. I also believe in positive reinforcement training with lots of healthy, high-value treats and praise. Structure is important for dogs. Once this is established, it's easy for them to follow directions and routine. I will provide a good routine and create a safe space for your pup which is paramount to having a healthy, happy dog. Communication is key in every relationship, including one with a dog. There is no shortage of sweet praise, scratches, and pets when they're with me!
