I am a life-long animal lover, and have had small and medium sized dogs for the last four years or so. My current Chihuahua-Terrier Mix has severe separation anxiety, so I am experienced at caring for dogs with special emotional or physical needs. I am an absolute sucker for animals, and will do anything for my dog. Your dog will receive the same special treatment. No two dogs are the same, and I strive to understand what your dog needs to be healthy and happy. Some dogs like slow walks with lots of sniffing, while some dogs like to walk walk walk. I am happy to accomidate either. I practice positive reenforcement with my dog. She gets lots of treats for good behavior, and is ignored when doing something naughty. She has learned how to walk on a leash, and some basic tricks like sit, stand, leave it. We are currently working on fetch. I love animals, and I love making animals happy. I would be honored to care for your dog as if it were my own.
