Dane lover, small dogs are cool too

Pet care experience

My first dogs were Shih-Tzu now I have Great Danes. I spent most of my career as a marine biologist but now I do pet photography and pet blogging. My last two Danes were the most challenging dogs my trainer had met. Through the course of their training I started helping my trainer's other clients with their dogs. Each dog has different motivations and I like to keep things positive and fun for the dog. I have found it extremely helpful to learn to read each dog's body language to be able to anticipate their next move. My last Dane was a DINOS (dog in need of space), she either liked or hated other dogs so I have had to learn to read her body language quickly to keep her and other dogs safe. This has given me a keen understanding of the importance of dog to dog relations. My hours are flexible since most of my time is now spent working as a blogger.

Jennifer was so conscientious and reliable about walking Hamish for me, even when it was pouring with rain! Will definitely contact her again if I need help. Thank you.

Since I have a Great Dane and live in a small condo I prefer to not provide in home dog sitting except on rare occasions for dogs my Dane has previously interacted with.

Information Jennifer W. would like to know about your pet

How reactive are they? Basic likes and dislikes, fears and habits. Other dogs in the areas they should stay away from or ones that are their best friends.

A typical day

I would be happy to do what you feel comfortable having your dog do. New experiences without their owner can be stressful for some dogs. Other dogs can go and do anything so I feel the activities requested should be up to the owner.
