I live in a two story townhouse in Walnut Hills and go on several walks each day with my small dog (9lb) dog, Beanie. We both love exercise, being outdoors, and seeing our human and canine neighbors. Previously, I was a long term foster (almost two years) to a dog, Louie, who suffered from medical issues and required daily medication so I am comfortable giving oral medication to pets. I work full time from home so I am home all day, though I sometimes step out to walk dogs in the neighborhood around lunchtime. I am also a "legal dogmother" for my friends -- yes, I am responsible to take care of their dogs in their will. I have experience working with with dogs who are extremely reactive to other dogs, as well as a dog with severe protective instincts and fear of new people. I also have experience with dogs who are experiencing separation anxiety and noise fear. If you have a dog that may have some "quirks" I like to let the dog show me how they feel most safe with their surroundings and let them take lead as long as other animals, people, and I are all safe. Time, patience, and plenty of tender loving care (and maybe some treats along the way) are all great motivators to making your pet safe and happy in their space!
