I’ve been a life long animal lover and long time pet owner. Starting at about age 8 as a neighborhood dog walker, to the 5 most recent years I’ve had 2 xl dogs and 1 xs cat. Though I am not a trainer, I have trained my 2 xl dogs to be responsible citizens, through many classes, daily structured walks, and continued to research positive reinforcement training in order to work toward calm minds on the dog’s part. Growing confidence and good decision making skills is my main goal when walking my own pups, starting one at 12 weeks old (he was a major piranha) and the other at 1.5 years when she was already a hard headed extra strong dog. I always strive to ensure each one of my animals gets what they need to be happy and successful. I’m believe in a short leash until you prove you’re ready for more. Fast walker with reasonable sniff stops and love a good pup cup. I walk with hands off leash for easy access to treats, Ziwi mackerel and lamb food as my go to, as well as to lengthen or shorten the leash and redirect as needed. I have experience with gentle leaders, slip leads, and martingale collars.
