Does your dog have any medical issues to be aware of and how are they managed? Details of medications your dog may require and how/when they are administered Details of their vet (just in case) and pet insurance If your dog has particular behaviours, anxieties, enjoyments Any food/treat allergies and/or preferences/requirements i.e. are they on a particular diet. Does your dog have particular toys they enjoy to play with i.e. balls, or squishy toys etc Any situations/places your dog prefers/enjoys and/or dislikes i.e. do they prefer quieter places to the city centre

I like to work with what is fun for that particular dog. For example, I looked after a Cocker Spaniel, Buddy, who would love to go for walks in woodland areas, to engage his retrieval instincts. I also enjoy varying recall, treat finding whilst walking i.e. getting them to search for a treat. At home, snuffle matts, kongs are great mental stimulation. If there is space, agility training can be fun too. Another dog I have looked after was Bella the Pug, aged 14. She was very different to Buddy. She enjoyed a walk on the beach near by, having a cheeky chat with other dogs and then coming home to have a fuss. She also enjoyed her rubber chicken toy rather than a ball.
