My goal is for your dog to feel as comfortable and happy as possible while we’re together. I always set up a meet and greet before taking on a new client where I generally ask the following questions: - How social is your dog? Do they like to sniff or play with other dogs? How do they usually react around new dogs? - How is your dog with new human friends? Do they warm up quickly, or generally avoid strangers? - Does you dog have a personal space bubble? Some dogs have areas of their bodies where they don’t like to be pet. How about you dog? - Does anything frighten your dog? - What kinds of commands does your dog know? How do you communicate these commands? - What is your dog’s energy level like? How much exercise do they need to get tired? - What makes your dog most happy?

I'm a short 10 minute walk away from the dog park at Stern Grove, and a 20 minute walk away from Ocean Beach. I love to be active, especially on the rare sunny days we get here in the Sunset, but it's most important to me to find an activity that best suits your dog's needs and energy level. If we're sticking around home, I live in a bottom floor apartment with a completely fenced in backyard that's about 20x20 feet, so there's plenty of room spend the afternoon in the sunshine.
