Please let me know if your fur baby has any favorite treats or toys, as well as what high-value treats I can give (like peanut butter, chicken, long-lasting chews, etc) to hold their focus. I also would like to understand your dog's play/exercise drive and their typical limit - I know some dogs could chase a tennis ball for hours, but end up achey, grumpy, or uncomfortable if they play hard for too long. Another good piece of info is your dog's nap schedule. Different dogs have different rest needs, and I always want to provide enough down time to keep your pup happy and rested, even if they seem at first like they want to play all day.

I love taking dogs on walks in fun, new environments where they can explore and get dynamic enrichment while working on building engagement and focus on walks! I particularly like Lake Herrick and the North Oconee Greenway. For pups who don't love walks as much, I'm happy to spend lots of time throwing a favorite ball or toy in the yard or house while working on recall. For dogs who are just not that into exercise, I'm great at keeping them engaged during a training session, but I'm just as happy to provide and/or stuff a treat puzzle toy and just hang out and cuddle.
