I would love to know any interesting behaviour or routines they have, like if they prefer a leisurely stroll or a brisker pace. Do they like to meet other dogs and people or should I ensure they have their space when approaching others? Also very important is any medical information, even if it doesn’t normally impact their daily life. I have worked a lot with dogs that are older or have medical needs that can impact their breathing, so I know it’s important to be aware of how far they normally go on walks and how often, so I can keep their routine consistent with your habits.

I really like to have fun with your dog, take walks to get some energy out or find little games that they like, or even try some tricks if they seem to have a knack for something. I love a good park that they can explore and always has new smells. I normally stay pretty close to the house so we can easily get home if they get tired. I also like just sitting in the backyard if you have one, letting the dog explore their own environment and relax in the fresh air. If they have a favourite hiking spot, I’d love to take them on a short hike as well.
