My dog fell in love with Thalia the first time they met. She is young and vibrant and playful with your animal and showed great affection toward my lab, which is a large dog to control, but she handled my lab so well. London, my dog, looked forward to her coming everyday and she took her for long walks and when my lab came back you could tell she got her exercise, which is very important to me. My dog has a problem when you put the leash on her because she gets so excited that it is a task just getting the leash on her, but Thalia handled that situation with patience and firmness and could handle her well. I would recommend her in the future to anyone that wants to have a happy dog. She is very helpful and informs you of their walks. I am a very happy customer.
