I'll track their walks, etc.
Pet care experience
I'm gentle, firm, empathetic, and set clear boundaries. I use positive reinforcement, such as treats, vocabulary for dogs, firm boundaries, crate only when necessary, etc. Absolutely no hitting, smacking, screaming, etc. I trained my parents dog vocabulary during walks words such as "sidewalk", "wait ","left /right", "whoa", etc. He also was trained on leash to walk with me with enough slack to be comfortable. I want to provide your fur legged friend a nurturing environment that allows them to settle, calm down and not be nervous or lonely. I will push them a little every day I take them on walks to go a little further or faster, assuming they're not used to going on regular walks. I'll make sure to remember water for them, as well as treats, and of course their leash and collar/harness.

Information Michelle O. would like to know about your pet
I do prefer terrier types but I like pretty much any kind of dog that is trained to basic commands. Just let me know if there's any trouble spots and maybe I can help train them. I only use positive reinforcement (treats and praise) and voice commands (not screaming, hitting or smacking, etc.) Crate time outs only when necessary.
A typical day
There's plenty of places to take fido on walks! I don't mind hanging out with senior dogs that tire sooner than their younger counterparts. Doggy massages included!
