I grew up with an Alaskan Malamute so I learned at a young age that happy pets need exercise and a good brushing! These days, sadly, I don't have the yard space for a dog. I have an extremely playful cat (who thinks of himself as more of dog) but playing with him just isn't the same. I enjoy jogging so much more with a smiling dog than with people. I always modify my pace to match what the dog needs. Little puppies and the elderly have quite different paces. If I am the one walking or playing with your pet, you can count on a high energy experience. I can't play with a dog without getting their motors moving! I'm available weekday afternoons and evenings for walks, runs, brushing, and general play time!
