As an empathic person, it is easy for me to sense the needs of animals. Whether they need food, a potty break, or a little extra love. Dogs tend to sense this, becoming friendly at a quick pace. I like to learn what motivates dogs, trying to keep them as happy as I possibly can while disciplining them when necessary. I am currently working on a bachelor's degree in media production, so I can only provide long stays Thursday-Sunday. However, my classes are spaced out enough to provide drop-ins and walks during my short school week. I recognize that no dog is the same, so I am very flexible when it comes to varying methods of dog caretaking. Kindness and encouragement is my first step, but I am not afraid to be stern and authoritative when necessary. I look forward to meeting many dogs!
