walk routes are per owner instruction, unless given creative freedom. When walking, I prefer to take a new route every day to keep the animals and myself engaged in the walk, however, I always listen to owners instruction. if your animal has a predetermined route I will honor it. I will not use choke chains or prong training collars, these collars damage Muscle tissue, nerves, can crush the airway at the worst or create scar tissue in the airway, it also cuts off blood and oxygen to an animals brain. They are proven to be highly ineffective Training collars and only serve to damage an animals health and teaches them next to nothing. Harnesses preferred but a well fitting collar is acceptable, there are many styles and types, collars alone are generally not as safe and I’d like to make sure your dogs are as safe as possible and cannot slip out in my care. Using a collar and harness in combination and attaching the leash to both the collar and harness has been an industry standard of the safer pet services you’ll find available to date. Overnight stays: I will stay the whole night and do exactly as I’m instructed within the home, with the animal(s) and around the home, I encourage Human companions to work with me to build a specific expectation of care and activities that I can do with your furry companion, as they very much depend on your pets health, age and ability, one cannot generalize these things. I will also help reinforce training methods and standards set forth by the Owner. I can also suggest methods or give advice with any issue you might be working through with your animals.
