I am available as a DOG WALKER, something I feel honored to do as I get to take four legged friends on adventures, and they take me on adventures too. :) Having grown up on a property in Australia I have been familiar with dogs all my life. Whether it has been energetic puppies at the beach, working dogs, or elderly family pets. I have been missing Leo, my family's energetic and endearing Staffy, since I arrived in Sweden in July. I have been raised with respect and patience as key values. I do not use violence (such as hitting) as a means of controlling a dog. If there is time I will wait for a dog to finish sniffing around, because I wouldn't want to be dragged away from something I just discovered. As much as possible I allow dogs to be autonomous beings, for example, allowing the dog to choose the direction we walk in. I have been a dog walker in Melbourne, and am not worried about walking in the dark or the rain. I believe it is so important for dogs to be able to get outside and explore, smelling all the wonderful things that they can smell. I am a contemporary dancer (studying at DOCH), and as a dancer have spent many years working with non verbal communication and observing bodies, beyond language. Because of this, I am also excellent in listening to what your dog needs, since this is also a form of communication that is not verbal. I have also found so much support from playing with Leo, and will happily play chase with your dog, as I also like playing. I would look after your dog as if they were my own.
