Seeing the whole picture is always important in improving wellness for everyone. I would like to know any and everything about you and your pets needs for my time with them. I don't judge dogs or cats for behavior in a poor light because ultimately behavior is the communication part of the bigger picture: environmental triggers, behavior, consequence.

For each session I try to improve or address both physical and mental needs. Physical needs include going to the bathroom, food, water, exercise, and looking out for health concerns. Many big health problems start with small factors or indicators. Mental needs include mental exercise, natural instincts outlets, social interaction, and overall mental wellness. Lacking in mental wellbeing has a huge impact in your pet's quality of life and health. Chronic and situational stress can cause health issues. That's why I focus on both needs. I evaluate each pet in addition to routine and past baseline from pet parents to what they need. Some needs include: -Fun activities for play and exercise: fetch, playing with toys. -Decompression activities like sniffari (sniff+safari) walks or find it games. -Relaxing activities like belly rubs and pet massages. -Training activities to strengthen wanted behaviors as well as to build trust and understanding. Your pet is always learning. Every moment and interaction changes to some degree their view of the future. I want to make sure they always learn I am a safe and fun person to be around. I would be happy to discuss your pets needs and my plan to address them.
