Tell me about anything in your dogs environment that they do not like? Doorbells? Small children? Squirrels? I will avoid these at all costs or I can practice desensitizing training if you so wish. Is your cat sensitive to pets? Are they a houdini? Let me know so I can adjust accordingly.

I usually wake up around 630 to take the pups out to go potty and feed the kitties breakfast and then I try and catch another hour or so of sleep before I actually get out of bed. Around thirty minutes or so after breakfast we go for a walk. If the pup pulls on the leash we stop, wait, maybe walk back in the other direction. I also allow A LOT of sniffing. I make sure whats being sniffed is safe to sniff and isnt leftovers. I know sniffing stimulates a dogs mind just as much as exercise. When we walk we practice manners, dont go up to strangers, stay close to me when theres a crowd. We stop at corners and look both ways. When possible we greet dog friends (if dogs temperament allows) I never go off-leash when I’m sitting, so I like to do something I call “chilling”. We sit somewhere outside and do nothing. This teaches the dog (and me) patience and how to calm themselves. After this we’ll head home and go on another long walk before or after dinner and the pup will sleep long and well. With the kitties I always give them a safe place or room I wont enter so they have somewhere they can hide if they want. They usually like to hang with me as I pitter patter around the house and im always so happy if they choose to sleep with me.
