Great experiences for any needs!
Pet care experience
I have three dogs of my own, and have had at least one my entire life. From 2011 - 2015 I worked full time as animal care/veterinary assistant at Kitsap Humane Society and All Creatures Animal Hospital in Bremerton, WA. In that capacity I've administered many treatments and medications to dogs (also cats and wildlife) of all sizes, breeds, and dispositions. I worked on the behavior team at the humane society, helping dogs relax and learn to thrive in high stress environments. I've sat and walked privately as well. It's really just fun and relaxing for me to help pets have fun and relax. I've worked with "difficult" breeds and dogs with behavioral issues in a lot of different capacities so I can confidently provide a therapeutic experience to dogs with any level need, or just have a good time hanging out. Get in touch if I can help you and your pup out and I'll be happy to do it!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My first priority is always to establish a relationship with a dog. Once we're buds it's really easy to tune in to make our time together bespoke. Most importantly my goal is to help them get the mental and physical exercise they need in a way that's comfortable and supportive of both the dog and the human client. If you have any training plans or standards in place I'm happy to keep them in mind and use your language with your pups!
Information Michael D. would like to know about your pet
A quick summary of your pup would be awesome! A couple examples of things they like to do, or places they like to go would be great. If they have any reliable "triggers" or behaviors that you would like to be discouraged/redirected that's really useful information as well.
A typical day
I've walked a lot around Seattle and have special spots around most neighborhoods. Based on your dogs needs and your preferences I'm happy to do most activities including: -Swimming -Running on circuit -Dog parks -Fetch -Play time with another dog
