Dog Trainer: Structured Walks
Pet care experience
I have been a domestic animal trainer for over 20 years and also have a degree in veterinary technology. I use mental stimulation to engage with dogs in play and while working them (on walks). Your dog(s) benefits more from 30 minutes of mental stimulation than a couple hours of physical activity -in regards to wearing them out and keeping them happy.I have experience with tons of breeds and all sizes as well as temperaments. I love what I do and it is more of a hobby and destressor than anything for me. I can correct a dog's leash manners in a matter of 15-20 minutes on average. I do not use aversives such as prongs/pinch collars. I prefer to use slip leads for walking.

Skills
Information Tracy A. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. I work with and love them all. I would like to know if they are leash reactive ahead of time however so I can take appropriate measures while walking them.
A typical day
We will go on structured walks where the dog will be in work mode. Dogs love to work and it greatly benefits them. I will engage in confidence building games and activities that do not lead to over-excitement.
