I've grown up around dogs of all kinds and sizes for most of my life alongside living with them and caring for them. I've done a variety of care for dogs such as overnight pet sitting, drop in visits, and simple walking. I have experience clipping dogs nails but am more comfortable using a nail grinder as that is my method with my dog. I've had her for three years now and brought her home when she was 7 weeks old and have trained her myself with the aid of a professional dog hiker and trainer. Caring for her has given me experience at nurturing the growth of puppyhood to adulthood. I love engaging with dogs using positive reinforcement play as well as canine enrichment methods such as challenge and reward games and toys. I am very comfortable handling dogs of various strengths and personalities. I give my undivided attention to our furry friend when handling them and always approach them by building trust on their terms. By the end of our time together, we will be best friends. Just don't tell my girl!
