Most of the dogs I've interacted with have been high-energy and large: 45- 80 pounds. As a runner, I often run with the dogs- letting them set the pace. I've also trained a lot of dogs that had never gone running before to running well, alongside me. A lot of friends and clients call me a dog whisperer because I'm good with dealing with difficult dogs. I have experience with fosters, newly adopted dogs, reactive dogs, dogs that need to be carried up and down stairs (have carried 70 pound dogs) and senior and special needs dogs. I fostered a pitbull for a few months and am very proud that I crate-trained her, adjusted her to city living, and taught her new tricks. I've also helped other friends get into fostering and helped them train their dogs to acclimate to city life including separation anxiety, running on a leash, and new tricks! I have experience with pitbulls, American Staffordshire Terriers, golden retrievers, Australian Shepherds, Goldendoodles, Ridgebacks, black labs, (french + english) bull dogs, German shepherds, Dobermans, daschunds and pugs and have taken care of dogs 5 - 140 pounds. I LOVE dogs and fostering, dog sitting, and hiking with other people's dogs fills that void for me.
