There has been a dog in my home for each of my 33 years alive. I am a mother of two humans and of one Poodle Jack Russell mix. I have personal care experience with Lhasa Apsos, Cocker Spaniels, Blood Hounds, Labs, Labradoodles, Beagles, Beagle mixes, Shepherd mixes, Boxer mixes, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Weimaraners, and Rottweilers. I believe in providing stimulating brain activities, opportunities for sniffing, open running spaces, and tight leashes for those dogs who need it, or prefer it. I have experience with teaching old dogs new tricks such as new techniques for walking behavior that I will be happy to share if requested. I am happy to take on a challenge, or just snuggle on the couch for a bit! I am an avid runner, so if your dog needs a run instead of a walk I can do that too!
