I am a photographer that works from home so will be in the apartment for most of the day. We have an Alaskan Malamute that we walk 2-3 times a day, so are used to long walks with big dogs (usually 1 hour +). We adopted our malamute in February and have lived with dogs for 5+ years back in Australia. As malamutes can be strong headed, we are quite firm (and loving) with giving instructions and following through. Your dog won't pick up any bad habits with us! Located in Downtown Brooklyn, we have plenty of good parks / dog parks nearby and we will generally walk or run for at least an hour to stretch those legs. We look forward to looking after your furry friend!
