I have had my own little dog for 7 years as well as out sitting or walking other dogs that range from a chihuahua to an English mastiff! I use treat based and vocal based reward systems when it comes to training as I find that is works best for me and your pet. I work 16 hours a week in a doggy day care centre where I can look after 25 dogs alone at a time. However, I would be looking for a more relaxed situation in terms of house visits and walking instead of holding your own pets in my own home so please bear that in mind if you're looking for overnight stays! I have trained puppies and even elderly dogs tricks from basic sit to sitting pretty and protect! I give a minimum of a 30 minute walk and always ensure your dog is safe when out and about. Special dietary needs are no issue as I work with multiple dogs everyday who needs are different and I will always make sure they are met!
