I reward behaviours I like to see and ignore the ones I don't like. I tend to take exploratory walks (dogs choice) vs human lead walks (exercise walks) as they are more fun dogs (generally). Regardless of the types of walks we take, there's always some training (or reinforcement of training).
I'm able to walk your dog while you're at work, provide home visits while you're away. I can help you with training your dog, come up with enrichment ideas, help with "annoying" behaviours, puppy socialization.
No pack walks, which means I am able to provide undivided attention to your dog(s) while we explore the neighbourhood. No off leash time, unless we are in your backyard or an area that is fenced in. We will only visit a dog park if you have been there and like it, otherwise they will be avoided.

Brandie is everything you could hope for in someone who visits and takes care of your pets! We have two medium/large dogs—one old and one a baby and a cat. Our pups were instantly comfortable and responsive to her. She is kind, gentle and incredibly responsive. She is an excellent communicator. She is definitely my go-to for my fur family:)
