There is a range of general information that is important to know when taking on a new client! I need to know about medical issues, any behavioral issues, about preferred schedules, and any general rules! I have had my fair share of working with animals that required extra assistance. For example, the dogs i’ve owned through the years. The first one, my Jack, was minorly dog aggressive and needed to be introduced to other dogs in a certain way to know that there is no danger. Jack was a good dog even through his poor behaviors, I miss him everyday. And my current dog, Marshall, he’s very excited meeting new animals. He barks and pulls and can’t seem to get his attention off of any other animal once he seems them. He really wants to play but has issues with other living things being on him so we’ve been working on his behavior while also trying to find him a non-jumping furry friend. I’ve had personal contact with dogs considered aggressive and even closer contact with a dog who had idiopathic aggression, where he had taken a good bite of my cheek. It was scary, I was just learning and it brought me further on how to handle other serious situations if one were ever to arise. These are just personal examples and I understand the stress of taking care of an animal with special care; I’ll just be around to provide care while you take your time away! I would also like to include a disclosure that while I am familiar with animal behavior, I am not qualified to diagnose or train dogs with specific behavioral conditions. Looking into my experience is more of intern/assistant work.

I love to make sure everyone’s pet is as pampered as you prefer! I can play for hours and walk for even longer. In the general area i’m located, there’s lots of fun and stimulating things to do for dogs and can provide their general access to it! I also love exploring and finding new things to do so even if you’re area is new to me, I’m sure I can figure out exactly what to do to provide a full fun day!
