Your pup's health and safety are my top priority along with providing them with a great experience! My approach with all animals is to let them get comfortable and build trust at their own pace. Sometimes this happens quickly but other times it takes a little longer and that's ok! From my own experience having an anxious dog, I understand how stressful new people or situations can be for them, so I always aim to be a calm, reassuring presence. I never leave a dog unsupervised outside and like to take frequent walks with the dogs I watch to build rapport. Safety is paramount for me, especially on walks. I'm very aware of our surroundings and I do my best to avoid any potential triggers. As a general rule, I want to set them up for success and avoid greeting other dogs on-leash or new people unless instructed otherwise.
