I have had experience taking care of cats and dogs since I was young. I have a gentle but firm approach when handling dogs and recognize that each dog, like humans, has it's own set of boundaries, personalities triggers, likes and dislikes. I train and handle through verbal commands, approvals (sometimes treats) and try to use as much assuring affirmations as possible. I try to create a pattern of consistency so your dog can adapt well to a new environment. I have been through two training courses for dogs and know how to handle dogs who are anxious or leash aggressive. I am also a jogger and if your dog is leash trained and people friendly I wouldn't mind taking them for a walk or jog. :)
