Dogs are people too! They have their own personalities just like us! I have over 30 years of experience feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with my own dogs. I have owned and loved 3 springers spaniels, a cocker spaniel, an Italian greyhound, and a labrador retriever. Each a dear member of our family. I believe it is important to talk to dogs in a positive tone while being firm. Show them what is expected of them consistently, instead of yelling. Listening to your dog is very important and although it is not easy, watching their body language and listening to their voice can help us understand them. I will be patience and sensitive with your companion. I can walk your dog or play ball and I'm not bad at frizbee. I will respect your requests, environment and timeline. Most of all I will give your dog love and respect.
