My dogs blue and Raven-I like to walk, feed, give them baths , snuggles and play with them They are always so happy when we walk and play - my dogs are also food fanatics. So I always have to keep an eye on them because they will eat too much. I have walk 3 dogs so far . Flynn, Kore and Faith- all awesome dogs! I try to get to know the dog on a personal level. I don’t like pulling them but I understand if they need to be corrected and tug usually to get their attention, whistle or literally direct their attention forward.

Information Vanessa R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how well trained they are, they likes and dislikes, if they like being picked up(if not too heavy), if they have any toys or aloud to have you brought over.. are they aloud to have treats and any allergies? Any nervous habits they might have. And if they are strong pullers on walks. If they are reactive- what triggers them? Dog fears like do they not like being picked up? Does it scare them? What does scare them? Do other dog excitement scare them?

A typical day

I love to play with the dogs and make them feel like they are the best dogs in the world and are doing such a great job being a good dog! I would walk the dogs at a dog park and if you like , I can take them to a dog park! Also, if they are trained well and if you like- swimming is cool! Also I do like talking to your dogs. We have good conversations :)

First 3 days of using Vanessa- lots of communication & pictures. Vito seems happy to be getting a morning walk and break out of the crate. I would recommend her
