I don't have a dog type preference, really. All our dogs of the last 30 years have come to us via re-home needs or animal shelters. The most important thing to know is that I will take time to build trust with your dog. At the beginning, we won't know each other, so what and happens the first visit will be vastly different than the 15th visit.

Fun activities will be geared to the age and breed of dog. Every canine -and canine age- is different. A puppy that is learning potty training and leash walking will have a mix of stimulation and rest. Done properly, learning basic commands (Sit, Stay, Come, Down, Out, Heel, Off) *is* "play". Creative walks (think up and down stadium benches) provide agility opportunities, finding a dog safe essential oil cotton ball under a cup for a scent-work "find-it" game. That said, it is possible to over-stimulate a dog, especially one that is dealing with a new environment, anxiety, or insecurity - so sometimes the proper answer is to just let them lay around and do nothing. Of course, all dogs need brushing and tummy rubs! Dog park visits are dependent on their "come when called" response, general health, and vaccination status. I would not take your dog to a dog park without consulting you.
