I grew up with dogs and naturally have always loved animals. I have trained all my past dogs on my own and feel like it's the best way to bond with my dog. I am an active runner, and take my pup along with me and can take your dog as well. If you're not into running, that's okay! There's plenty of trails around here (and a dog park) that we can visit. I love the sun and outdoors, and it's always more fun with extra buddies. I own an Australian Shepherd and she LOVES all dogs. I am doing this partly for her as her life is happier with a playmate. I also am a piano teacher so you're dog will be exposed to a lot of classical music-haha! My dog routine: I work from home the first half of the day so Moja and I go on a 1-hour walk or run in the mornings. Throughout the day she plays with her toys at home and we do some trick training. I then leave for about 3-5 hours the second half of the day to teach piano lessons. Around 8 or 9pm, I take my pup on a quick walk before bedtime, which she sleeps in her crate throughout the night. As you can see, Moja gets a lot of my attention and time, and so will yours! Please let me know how to make your pup feel more comfortable.
