Over 9 years of raising and training my two dogs and as a volunteer at a shelter, I have confidence with all types of pups. I have 2 pet pups at home. One dog is an 8 year old pure bred black lab and the other is a year old Lab/Flat Coat Retriever Mix. For any outings, walks, etc. we will do a full check of paws, coats, etc. after to keep everyone safe. Before any care, we will go over all the commands and tidbits I need to know about your pup so we can ensure consistency in their training and habits. Routine rules with pups and I am more than happy to do my best to accommodate. For walking and check ins, we will schedule a very quick meet & greet if possible. This allows your pup to sniff me and give approval :) At this time we will go over your pets normal habits, needs, commands and any information that can be helpful (i.e. reactive on leash, etc.) so I can accommodate. Need a few hours while hiking or a weekend away.....I can ensure that a stop in with me will leave them resting well while you are away. As someone who traveled to the MWV a lot before moving here; having someone trustworthy and reliable is all too important when you want to be out adventuring or enjoying the sights without worrying whether your pup is home alone, bored or stuck in a crate. Giving them a quick pop in for a walk or a romp with me can rest all your worries to enjoy your day while still snuggling up with your favorite furry at the end of the day :)
