Feel free to book short notice, if I’m avail then I’m game! High-energy levels welcome! I have a heeler and a mini aussie mix, so I’m well-versed in high-energy and high-drive. Happy to play brain games or go for a jog-let’s burn some energy, happy to bring my jogging leash if your pup has a well fitting harness to run in. What about lower-energy pups? Of course, all energy levels are welcome! Happy to honor your dogs nose and allow them to lead the way at their own pace on a sniffari through their neighborhood or leashed on trail or beach—nose work is the best for a tired, happy, healthy dog! Looking for off-leash adventures? I’m happy to meet and learn more about you and your dogs existing expectations and boundaries re safety, recall, communication, and the tools and reward system you use—I am open to discussing off-leash adventures at Hinckley, Willard, and beyond, if it’s a good fit for all! And I have experience using e-collars (Dogtra and mini-educator brand) as a tool to support your pup and I’m open to reinforcing your conditioned training—I know first hand the commitment of time and energy to this relationship with pup, human, and tool—as long as it’s used safely, ethically, and in support/complementary of hand signals and/or verbal communication you use with your pup. What about dogs who are or can be reactive? I have experience walking reactive dogs and am confident and comfortable respecting your and your dog’s needs. For example, I totally understand if you have two dogs and they need to be walked separately. And if you have a leash-reactive pup, I’m confident navigating busy sidewalks, avoiding dog and people contact (if needed), and am comfortable walking with flat collars, martingales, gentle leaders, harnesses, and basket muzzles, as needed (and if fitted properly and used safely). Please be sure to share all of your pups known triggers (for example: bikes, kids, cars, people, small dogs), so I can be sure to meet their needs. Can’t wait to connect!
