I am a former veterinarian assistant. I bring with me all the expertise I learned from that job. I am able to handle giving medications. I love to exercise dogs and I believe that is key to having a happy and healthy pet. I get to know each pet just as a would a person. Each dog brings with them their own personality and I am able to recognize and adapt my skills to each pet. I also feel pets should be treated with the utmost respect and dignity and I provide genuine love and care to all dogs. A few of my strengths include my ability to remain calm when your pet doesn't behave as expected. Remaining calm is key so that the dog doesn't react to any anxiety they might sense. I also never use physical punishment or force and treat all pets affectionately. I will never yank on your dog's leash during a walk. I am also very attentive and consistent. I understand that some pet owners have worked hard to teach their dog not to sit on the sofa for instance. I will keep these rules.
