Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has food aggression, dog aggression or people aggression. My black Shepherd was a K9 drop out and she did not do well with other dogs or people.

A typical day

I love hiking, walking and swimming. If your dog likes to be outside, they will love going on adventures with me. For those pets that don't always like to walk or go out for potty breaks, I entice them with treats or try to get them excited enough to go outside.

Pets

I like dogs more than people

Pet care experience

I grew up with two German Shepherds, Duke and Thor. Eventually after Duke passed away we got Brie who was a "K9 drop out". My brother has a German Shepherd named Kai, my dad has a 3 legged chocolate lab, Bixby, and two cats, Socks and Olaf, that I frequently care for. I am familiar with small, medium, and large breeds. Dogs with behavioral issues, food aggression or dogs that require specific instructions.

Nicole was really attentive and active with my 85# dog reactive pit mix. She went on a bunch of long walks, letting him sniff and hang out in the water. She sent pictures throughout and updated me with any updates. Before she even left I booked her again! Highly recommend!
