Information Lindy V. would like to know about your pet

What do I need to know about your dog? Does it walk with a loose leash? What are the words and signals they know? Do they have any sore spots, anxiety, aggression, are they counter surfers, barkers, howlers? My St Bernard used to not like Great Danes... And one dog I watch doesn't like German Shepherds. Cue me into your pups likes, dislikes, and how we can be best together.

A typical day

We generally walk one to two times a day, often with a neighbor and their dog. We stop for some sniffs, can run off leash at a local tennis court (winter) or hockey rink (summer) depending on the season. For social and active dogs I plan play dates and our couch is an excellent spring board and we have a weed-free, and burr-free back yard. I enjoy brushing, tossing a ball, and encouraging outdoor zooms. If you dog is licensed for the MN River dog park and has good recall, we'd love to hike with them there also with your permission, or if there's another dog park closer you dog has that's a fan favorite.
