I am a full-time dog walker and used to work at a dog boarding facility. I have two off leash groups and looking to add an early AM group from 7-9am and an evening group from 5-9pm. My biggest interest in dogs is understanding their behavior towards humans and other animals. I am not a professional trainer. I am a student and teacher. I learn from animal instincts and heightened senses to become more in touch with the natural world. They teach me about the natural world; I teach them about the domestic world. My favorite things to do with them are go on walks and play at off-leash dog parks. I have an understanding of behaviors like dominance, aggression, submission, playful behavior, scouting, territorial behavior, curiosity, affection, excitability, over-excitability, neurotic behavior, insecurity, confidence, anxiety, fear, possessiveness, obsession, protectiveness, calmness, and relaxation. I learn from watching wiser, more experienced dogs and dog owners how to interact and communicate with dogs. I learn how to strategically and appropriately use affection and discipline as well as going with the natural flow of bonding and building a relationship with a dog.
