There are a few things that would be useful to know about a dog before I work with them. I'd start with certain basics such as age and the specific breed of the dog. Then, whether or not there's any allergies or medical conditions I need to be aware of. Another good thing to know is a little about the dog's past (Was he/she a rescue? Were they a foster dog at any point? Do they have a history of abuse and/or trauma? etc.). Any behavioral issue would be great to have a heads up on as well (Is your dog ball aggressive? Are they reactive at all to other dogs? Do they have any specific triggers (such as men with sunglasses or children)? etc.). Lastly, I'd like to know if there's any specific words the dogs are familiar with/trained to OTHER than the traditional "come, stay, sit, leave it, etc.".

If I'm so lucky as to get the chance to meet and spend some time with your four-legged friend, I have a lot of fun ideas to keep your pooch engaged and having a blast! I know of a lot of dog-friendly parks, canyons, and beaches around the Los Angeles area that have gotten nothing but eager tail wags and slobbery smiles from past dogs I've worked with. Exploring the great outdoors is great for not only your dog's mental health, but physical health too! I would love to run around the neighborhood with your dog and get him/her nice and tired! After a high energy play session I am ALWAYS ready to give out some quality belly rubs and cuddles. Most of all, I'm flexible to whatever you and your dog are comfortable with doing and would want from me!
