I prefer medium to large breeds. Small dogs are okay, but they must be nonaggressive. I can handle most special needs animals. If your dog has any bite history or fearful aggression, I need to know ahead of time. Please tell me about how your dog reacts towards small children, strangers, other dogs (especially dogs significantly larger/smaller than them). As well as how they act while being on a leash, being harnessed, and if your dog has any bad habits such as eating grass, rubbish, pulling while on leash, etc.

I enjoy tug of war, fetch, and doing quick bursts of sprinting that calm into a jog, and eventually even out into a walk. I like to stay in the area, and usually allow the dog to make the decision on where they want to go in terms of turns. I enioy seeing them explore new areas or take things at their pace rather than at mine. I like to bring treats along that are appropriate for the dog and reward them for good behavior. I communicate with dogs through a clicker, sign language, whistles, tongue clicks, and/or verbal commands. I am well versed in safely feeding dogs by hand, as well as cooking bland meals for picky eaters. I have fresh water in two different bowls around my apartment for my cats and always check to make sure they are full and clean.
