These are some important questions that will be asked as they are extremely important to know and be aware of. -Vet information (Name Address phone number) -What is the normal routine for the dog? ( When does the dog normally go for a walk? When do they feed the dog [morning, evenings, free feed?] How do they put the dog to bed at night?) -How long is the dog normally left alone or how long can you leave the dog alone for? -What are the house rules for the dog? ( Is he allowed on the couch? What rooms can he go into?) -What kind of commands does the dog know? ( sit, stay, come, off, no) -What are some bad habits the dog has and what they do to help fix it? -What kind of treats is ok for the dog? Is he allergic to any foods? -Really important if you take the dog out for a walk, is there anything that the dog is afraid of or will set him off? -Does the dog do anything that only the owner would understand; scratch the arm, whimper, bark , etc?

Dogs are individuals, as are people. I would ask the owners what kinds of activities, games their dog enjoys, and go along with those. Walks, nice long walks in parks or trails or other pleasant places are always appreciated. Games, interactive play with toys, balls, even a stick are fun. Some dogs really enjoy chilling, watching TV while laying in/on your lap, being scratched and stroked. Some dogs love having their ears played with, others not so much. Some know and like doing tricks for praise and treats. Some dogs just love having someone talk to them! And many really enjoy going for rides in the car.
