Firstly, I would be interested in becoming aware of the dog’s temperament, if he/she is shy, hyper, calm, energetic. Also, the dog’s needs are very important, such as preferences and habits and the way they communicate what they want and need. I would love to know how he/she is around other dog types (size, energy levels, age) and children as well as environments to best accommodate and be proactive to not let situations arise by preparing beforehand. A list of suggestions of what phrases/commands to say to your pup under certain circumstances as well as how to ease him into busy environments or new dogs will be a great resource for me. I do not have any breed preferences. I have a small and medium dog; therefore, as long as your pup is okay to interact with them it is fine with me to create bonding and fun experiences for them. My dogs love to make furry friends!

We solemnly promise to definitely NOT keep calm. After building rapport and being comfortable with me approaching and petting, beware there will be pooch smooches, hugs, squeezes, tummy-back-butt scratches! Our furry babies and yours will have backyard access all day, as well as make use of the great hiking trails near the botanical gardens and local dog parks (weather permitting). We do love to walk along the beach on the 101 and make dog beach trips to play fetch, run around, and have a jolly time. Having my line of work of working with individuals with special needs, my passion is advocating for those individuals whom cannot express their feelings, thoughts, and wants/needs. I strongly believe dogs have the biggest, most faithful and empathetic hearts and need to be treated as such and as the best member of the family. Big, small, hairy or not..they all need love, attention, and tons of affection.
