1. Health & Medical Needs • Medications: Are there any vitamins or prescriptions? Note the exact dosage, timing, and any tricks for administering them (e.g., hiding a pill in cheese). • Allergies: This includes food allergies, sensitivities to certain treats, or environmental allergies (like fleas or specific grasses). • Medical History: Pre-existing conditions like arthritis (which affects walk distance), a history of seizures, or recent surgeries. 2. Diet & Feeding Routine • Schedule & Portions: Exactly how much food do they get, and at what times? 3. Behavior & Triggers • Reactivity: How do they react to other dogs, cats, squirrels, or strangers? Do they bark, lunge, or try to run away? • Triggers: Are they afraid of loud noises (thunder, fireworks), bicycles, skateboards, or people wearing hats? • Separation Anxiety: Do they whine, bark, or destroy things when left alone? How long can they safely be left by themselves? • Handling Preferences: Are there areas they don't like being touched (e.g., paws or tail)? Are they comfortable with having their collar or harness put on? 4. Walking & Exercise Dynamics • Leash Manners: Do they pull, try to bolt, or eat things off the ground? • Stamina: How long is their typical walk? Puppies and senior dogs have very different exercise limits. • Flight Risk: Are they an escape artist? Do they try to dart out of open doors or back out of their harness?

I usually spend a bit of time studying or doing household chores, and then I love to spend time outside, especially when I have a dog with me. I could play with your dog for hours until they get tired, because I never do! lol
