I want to know your dog's personality! What are they motivated by, food, play, love? I want to know their energy level and potential allergies. Their anxiety level around new people, other dogs, and leash behavior. Senior Pups: Please let me know if they require special care. How they are on stairs, and how long their walks should be. Training: I want to know what you are working on with your dog. Although I won’t train your pet, I will follow your current protocol for consistency and training reinforcement. Rescue pups: Tell me if they’re shy, tell me what they need to be comfortable- a special place for their bed, to have their own space in my walk in closet, or maybe just a long trust walk before coming into my home. Right before you drop off your pup I'd like to know the last time they pooped and were walked and if they are ok running or if they might be too tired.

A typical day is active, intentional, and really fun! We start with calm structure and a walk tailored to your dog’s energy level, sometimes a guided pack adventure, sometimes one-on-one enrichment if that’s a better fit. Throughout the day there’s a balance of movement, sniffing, light training reinforcement, and supervised social time (only with well-matched dogs). I mix in enrichment games, rest breaks, sun time in the yard, and lots of individual attention. My goal is for your pup to feel engaged, confident, and fulfilled, not overstimulated. They go home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired from a day that was both fun and thoughtfully structured.
