I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.

Information Paul K. would like to know about your pet

I understand that each dog has their own personality so I just try to glean as much from conversation as I can before meeting them. Understanding this, I also am not offended if we don't get along, it happens. Obviously, I'd like to know any specific needs beforehand so we both are confident of the situation.

A typical day

I love taking strolling with my friends, especially to the nearest park. I love exercise, especially playing fetch or just running around together, but also enjoy relaxing and giving a good belly scratch.

Pet care experience

I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company.
