1. Any known allergies, as I sometimes use treat-based enrichment or training and want to avoid exposure to allergens. 2. Any history of aggression, territorial behavior, or resource guarding, so I can arrange safe and separate feeding spaces if needed. 3. Any health concerns or mobility limitations. My dog is very active, so senior dogs may be given a quieter, more independent rest or crate space. 4. Whether your dog experiences separation anxiety. 5. Whether your dog has reliable recall, or any past history of escaping or running away.

Our day usually starts around 9:00 AM with a 30–60 minute morning walk. After returning home, dogs are fed separately to reduce food-related stress. Around midday, we go out for a 15-minute potty walk, followed by a quiet nap together on the couch. Throughout the day, dogs are taken out to the yard about once every hour for fresh air and potty breaks. Around 5:00 PM, we have a regular dog park routine to meet dogs’ social needs. We often visit Juanita Dog Park, Marymoor, and Medina, depending on the dog’s energy level and comfort. Daily walks focus on sniffing and exploration, which helps satisfy dogs’ natural sensory needs. I also incorporate short treat-based training or enrichment activities to support mental stimulation. My goal is for every dog to feel fulfilled, relaxed, and happy each day.
