Please let me know ahead of time how your dog interacts with strangers as well as other dogs. This will help me understand what approach to take if I am greeting them for the first time. If we are going for a walk, it will also give me a sense of the right location to bring them to stimulate them or avoid areas where other dogs may be walking. Also let me know about treats! If you have treats for them, how many treats should be the limit, etc. As mentioned in my safety bio, I won't give dogs any unapproved food items by the owners.

I think it truly depends on the dog! There is no one-size-fits-all approach. A young energetic pup has different needs. We could throw a ball around or play in the snow if the conditions are appropriate. However a less mobile older dog, still needs stimulation. So I would consider a leisurely walk in a place with lots of interesting vegetation and trees or lounging at the park with good people/dog watching opportunities. The more opportunities I have to interact with the dog, the better idea I will have on what makes them tick. It could be that one specific toy they have, belly-rubs, or searching for all of the good smells.
