Please inform me of: -Behavior issues/concerns (aggression/anxiety) and if your beloved dog has specific triggers. -Acute or chronic medical conditions? -Does your fur baby have a favorite toy and type of treat? Allergies? -What is your expectation as an owner for the service you booked? -What are your pets needs in regards to feeding, exercise, training, socialization and affection? -What commands and signals does your dog respond to?

Edworthy and Strathcona Park are minutes away from my home and where I walk most often. I am open and willing to come to your neighborhood to explore and connect with your dog in an environment that is familiar to them. Social play dates will occur in my fenced backyard and living room, where your dog will have full access to a wide selection of toys. I play a tough game of tug-of-war! If your dog has to much fun, I will provide a bath. Your dog will go on a minimum of 2 walks per day, even in -20 weather. I am also skilled at teaching dogs commands and obedience, using verbal and none verbal cues and can continue any training you have initiated to support your training goals. Your dog may surprise you with a few new tricks up their tail!

It is necessary to build trust, respect and connection between the dog and owner/handler. It is an opportunity for the owner/handler to establish themselves as the dog’s leader and protector inside and outside of the home. More importantly, it is essential to the dogs happiness and to facilitate clear communication channels between dog and handler.
