I am very attentive to my dog and cat. I can immediately tell when they are off and I try to figure out what it is that is causing them to feel that way. All animals being transported in my car will have a seat belt. I use a lot of verbal praise and I use small training treats to build rapport with new dogs. I am more than happy to use methods that work well for you so that I can be consistent with how you want your dog to be cared for. I have a big yard but it is not fenced in so I typically will utilize the space to play fetch. If I want a more contained area, I'll take the pets im caring for to a local dog park or baseball field where its fenced in.
