Let us know if your dog has any special requirements or needs, so that I can cater. I will also want to know if there are any medical issues or allergies that I should be aware of. Knowing your dogs daily routine can also be helpful for me to know as routines make dogs feel secure and will help them to settle whilst their owners are away. How do you tend to reward good behaviour? Some dogs love treats, others love play! It would be good to know how best to tell your dog that they have done a good job. This is also the same with bad behaviour - are there any commands I need to know, for example? Dogs are allowed on furniture and in my bed. However, I understand that some owners may not like this as this is not the rule back home! Letting me know will allow me to do my best to set the right boundaries for your dog. Does your dog have any triggers? What are they scared of? What will they react too? I.e. the sound of a vacuum cleaner, a thunder storm, sound of a train, etc. Can your dog be left alone? And for how long?

I love to stimulate our dogs both mentally and physically. My day starts off with a long walk through the park and/or woods. During the day we will play fetch and scent games in my garden. If the weather is bad I also have a bunch of dog games and puzzles that can keep dogs entertained for hours. I also have (filled) kongs, stimulating toys, chews and bones that dogs are able to enjoy as well. Dogs will always be supervised during this, however I will always ask the owners permission to use chews, bones and treats as stimulation.
