I have a fenced garden for zoomies and comfort breaks. The shore, Water of Leith, cycle path to Lochend Park and Leith Links are less than 5 mins away for longer walks to burn off all that energy! In your home I’m happy to follow your pup’s routine and continue any training you’re working on together. As I have my own dog, Benny, we can meet first for a brief sniff and walk around the block just to make sure they’ll be friendly. However, Benny’s a gentle giant and enjoys the company of other dogs. He may have a brief sniff and forget they exist for a day or two. Benny is a gentle boy who’s devoted to his humans. He grew up with exclusively with greyhounds so doesn’t know what to make of how other breeds play. He can be defensive of his female friends if he sees them playing rough (off lead), but he’s really all bounce, bark and no bite. He’ll politely have a nose boop and sniff of friendly dogs and puppies- large or small. If a dog noises him up, he removes himself and gives me a pointed look because he’s knows I’ll step in. He likes to walk quietly along behind me and honestly, I could forget he’s there when I’m walking my client’s dogs! If pushed, he’ll snap at an overly rude dog in the park, or chase them off. In much the same way his Mum would have done with him and his sisters in the litter when they played too roughly. I never force him to socialise in dog parks as this is an invitation for introducing him to untrained, off-lead dogs. I would also never take someone else’s dog to an enclosed area with several strangers’ dogs. I set my services to “Away” when there is a reactive or nervous foster in my household, so you’ll never have to worry about that.
