It is important for me to know general personality about a dog form their owners perspective because they spend the most time with their pet and know them best. As well any health and medical history about the dog so that I can watch them as best I can for any potential issues.

For high energy dogs that love to fetch I would throw their favorite toy til I felt they were reasonably tired. I am also a strong believer in enrichment activities for dogs such as playing puzzles and games with them to stimulate their brains. With my dogs at home my mom and I like to play a game called hot and cold where we hide a toy out dogs really like and then give them directions on whether they’re close to finding it or not. As well, having rewarding treat experiences where the dogs have to work a little harder. Such as putting treats in a bundled up towel and having them work through the towel to find the treats.
