Walks tailored to your dogs needs

Pet care experience

I really strive to become familiar with and get to know a client's dog for two reasons: I want to build a rapport with them so they are comfortable with me, and I want to gauge their personality/ energy levels. I will tailor my dog walking experience to your dog's specific needs. Based on current and past experience in caring for dogs, I know what behaviors to look out for, such as tiredness, heat exhaustion, sings of potential aggression, etc. I use the positive reinforcement method of using treats and praise to minimize dog's pulling on the leash too hard I am currently working full time from home. Weekdays I try and block off an hour between noon and 1PM. After 3 - 3:30PM on most days, my meetings are finished and I have flexibility to fit in walks anytime after that. I do I only use harnesses that are strapped on around the dog's body with a 6.5 foot leash. I do not hook a leash to a dogs collar, nor do I use a retractable leash. This what I feel is best to protect my dog. I also bring a collapsible dog water bowl and water to make sure my dog stays hydrated on hot days. I have recently stared using paw protection wax on my dog to help protect her paws from the hot pavement.
