Information Melanie & Anthony A. would like to know about your pet

Does the fur-baby have any special requirement? Are they on a special diet? What are their treats? Are they on any medication? What does their daily routine look like? Does the fur-baby have any triggers? The fur-baby's favorite park / fun activity / toy?

A typical day

We like to keep the dog engaged as much as possible. Every Dog is different, and the first step is gain the dog's trust by letting the dog approach us rather then we approach the dog. The goal is to let the dog know it that they have a companion that they can trust. It starts with playing with them and their favorite toy and giving them a treat. Then, taking them to a dog friendly park like Cherry Ave dog Park, the Grange, Argyle Lake Park and Northport Park.
