Self motivated as a youth to work with animals, I worked for a whippet and cocker spaniel breader. Since I have been dog sitting, walking and “adopting”. This allowed me to care for dogs even when I didn’t have the time or space for my own. Now I am settled and have a mixed Breed pup of 1.5 years. I am diligent with training, offering stimuli, and exercise. I am keenly aware of the need to develop a bond with a dog prior to expecting obedience. I believe positive reinforcements are most effective in long term behavioural benefits, but am comfortable using training methods that may be found in dog packs. Small and large dogs should have the same behavioural expectations. I beleive all dogs can bite, and respect that they are animals. Each with their own fight or flight mechanisms. I think precautions should always be taken. Providing keen attention to dog behaviour, body positioning and tone of voice provides insight for early intervention. I can easily become familiar with your dog/s, and be walking them regularly. I am flexible with my times to a certain extent, and I can be flexible if you would rather your dog be the only one present on the walk.
