For me routine is key, feeding times, walking and if you have tradtional toilet break times. I aim to act like a home away from home. Any behaviours i should be aware of. Especially if your dog is close to or on heat or unneutered an male. Even the little things. Good off the lead but a bit less so on lead. Recall levels are important and treat response so I can reward them for being a good doggo, so you as an owner dont see all your hard work go to pot, especially in younger dogs. Equally any other behaviours to others such as children is important. Balham is nappy valley so its important to make your dog and others comfortable when out walking and know their boundries and comfort level and adapt to this, so that they have an enjoyable time.

I love to play games and try new things with all dogs i look after. Whether its trying a new trick or just playing tug or other games. My focus is on a stress free calm environment for any dogs I look after rather than over excitement of looking after a dog and trying too hard. I love to go for walks around both wandworth common and tooting common and have found locally a private area which is perfect for letting bigger excitable dogs off the leash without fear of other owners panics, who have traditionally smaller dogs in the local area. This is equally perfect for recall training and for those that never qute got the full hang of it. I love taking the dogs to local coffee shops and also to local pubs, its great for socialisation and teaching good behaviours, especially in younger dogs and just adds variety to their day.
