Dog lover & HUGE Cesar Milan fan!

Pet care experience

Hello! Let me first start out by saying how exciting I think it is to meet new dogs and exchange stories and best practices with other dog owners. I have previous experience for feeding and walking two of my aunt's older dogs when they go out of town on vacation. I have an eight month old rescue puppy and love her to death. Teaching her to walk properly on a leash was an adventure for our feisty little puppy and was a fun challenge for me as I applied what I learned from watching dog guru, Cesar Milan. I'm looking forward to becoming a professional dog walker because not only is it great exercise and fun, but I am passionate about helping others, which includes our furry animal friends. It breaks my heart to see pets neglected and chained up when they should be taken well care of. I don't believe there is such thing as a bad dog, just a dog that is a product of their environment. With the right approach any dog can be a loving family dog.

Miki lives down the street from us and we love it when she takes our lab-mix out for walks when both my husband and I are unavailable. Our dog gets so much pent up energy during the day that he's going crazy by early evening. She goes the extra mile by taking him through the wooded area in our neighborhood where he has a chance to run around and burn off some of that energy. Miki is always professional and very friendly to us and our dog and we're glad that we can count on her to keep our dog happy and healthy!

Miki has watched my two dogs several times while I've been on vacation and she does a great job making sure they are well fed, getting enough exercise and keeping them company. They love her and always get so excited when they see Miki. They get very lonely when I'm out of the house for extended amounts of time. I trust Miki to take good care of them while I'm gone. She even taught them how to roll over and has shared with me a few pointers on dog care. I just hope she won't be too busy watching other dogs and not have time to watch mine! :)

Information Miki R. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if there are any conditions your dog has or extra attention in certain areas that they may need so that I can prepare for that.

A typical day

I am fascinated with how each dog I meet behaves and curious as to how they interact with other dogs they meet on their walks. I believe that the more experience I have with different dogs will benefit my dog as I will have a better understanding of how to handle almost any situation. Every dog I come across I treat as kindly as my own and shower them with affection when appropriate and discipline when needed. I have to say that Cesar Milan's trick of snapping whilst making the shush sound and pulling on the leash works wonders. I am always hyper aware when walking my own dog about our environment and don't like for her to walk ahead of me, but rather beside me. I think you need to be aware at all times if you want to prevent any unwanted altercations with other dogs or reactions to outside stimulators like cars or bikes passing by. If you are reacting, then it's too late. Anticipating the dog's behavior ahead of time allows you to prepare them to act calmly. I also think it's important to pay close attention to their body language and cues they are giving you so you know how they are feeling. I believe that when we project how we are feeling the dogs around us pick up on that and it can influence their behavior. I would love to get to know your dog on an exciting walk and make sure they get proper exercise in a fun and safe manner. I am flexible as to where you prefer your dog to be walked. I walk my own dog to our neighborhood park and in the woods surrounding my neighborhood because I know how much she likes to explore in natural environments. I would be happy to do the same for yours! My puppy is super friendly, doesn't bite, is up to date on all of her shots and is spayed. If you have a dog that could use some more socialization with other dogs and don't mind them having extra company let me know and I can bring my puppy along.
