I’d love to know how old they are, what commands they respond to while walking, and how trained they are. As well as what treats they like (or don’t!), and if they are friendly or not with other dogs, so I know to avoid or be clear if we come across another dog walking in our path. And, of course, if they’d respond to a tennis ball being thrown for them, or they are the more chill kind of playful.

A typical day is full of walks, play, treats and toys. I enjoy taking dogs on walks in their neighborhood, while taking my time and allowing the dog to enjoy it’s time outside. I’ll always have a pocket full of treats (and baggies) to give throughout our walk, and before I leave. If a park is nearby, or the pup has access to a yard, I love playing fetch and bringing toys along. My favorite dog park is Vina Vieja Park, or Alice’s Dog Parj off Orange Grove Blvd. Whether a dog needs just a potty break or to burn off some energy, I always come prepared.
