I've had dogs and been surrounded by them for most of my life, whether they're super active like the Australian cattle dogs I had growing up, or couch potatoes like my uncle's pug. If your dog should be walked, jogged, or ran with - it's no problem. I can train, play a game with, or groom your pup, I work around what your dog's needs are. I trained a very stubborn cattle dog that my dad thought was untrainable to sit, lay, shake, and fetch. She was very hard-headed but responded well to positive affirmation; although, it did take awhile. I've brushed, bathed, and trimmed fur, I'm no stranger to what could be hiding in your dog's coat. It can be amazing the difference a grooming can make.
