Your pup's safety and comfort are my top concerns, and of course lots of fun! I've worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, social skills and energy levels. I've used all kinds of harnesses/collars. We scoop the poop, and we build a rapport so that your dog is excited to see me the next time. Every dog has an individual personality that I want to learn and adapt to. For many dogs a new person in his/her life is an important relationship that should start out right - with treats and a proper greeting. My experience is based entirely on positive based reward training: treats, fun and strong leadership, while recognizing a dog's strengths and fears to guide them along a great walk or trip to the park. My skills are best exemplified in my own pup, Hazel, a high-energy, friendly, well-behaved German Shepherd, skilled in slow sniffing walks around town, wilderness trail off-leash backpacking trips, or just hanging out at the dog park saying hello to all the people and dogs she meets. I'm available afternoons and early evenings. Treats included! (Barring any allergies/restrictions, of course).
