Once you've chosen a Pet Sitter for your pet, invite them into your home for a meet and greet before you plan to leave.  You can observe how they interact with your dog or Cat and show them around your home  Tell them where they will find keys, food, emergency contacts, and any instructions, and help them to get to know your pet, such as:

1. Your pet's name, breed, age and medical history such as a recent surgery, medical conditions, allergies, etc.
2. Your Vet´s information.
3. Tricks and behaviors, including any verbal cues or hand signals, and how do you deal with your pet's                  behaviors.
4. Behavioral or medical information on your pet, such as your pet's recent surgery. 
5. If your pet requires any prescribed medicine and how to administer.
6. What is your pet's daily schedule such as how much do they poop, when and where,. and how much they will eat, and where the pet supplies and food are kept including dry food, wet food, and any treats that are permitted.
7. For dogs, Is there a designated walking route or park, what gear they are walked with and where is it kept, how does your dog behave on a walk, and whether they would like their dog interacting with people or other dogs.
8. Where they should park i.e.: drive way, street, guest parking, etc.
9. If they are staying the night, where will they sleep, TV and Wi-Fi information, 
10. If you would like them to get your mail, and where you would like the mail and package deliveries placed.
11. If there are any alarms or off limit areas.
12. Your emergency contact information.

Items 1 thru 12 are basic.  Your Pet Sitter should offer a comprehensive information form that goes into every detail of your pet's life, conditions and behaviors.   

Leaving your pet in good hands with a professional, licensed, and insured Pet Care Provider who knows Pet CPR 1st Aid provides peace of mind for you and your Pet Sitter.  This will set  your Pet Sitter up for success.

Hello and thank you for stopping by today!.
​.
​Do you have a Dog that pulls on the leash leaving you wondering who's walking who?

Over the last 15 years I have used almost every collar/harness type out there.  My conclusion is we're going about this all wrong!  Leashing a lead to a neck collar is a recipe for disaster not only causing neck injury to your Dog.  but making sure they can't slide out of their gear when spooked is paramount.

Today I'm going to demonstrate the Harness Lead Leash to  help you and your Dog have an amazing walk and reduce the pulling offering you the escape proof  peace of mind for a win/win for you and your Dog.

Watch Coco as she get's into a 'listening' rhythm to both my commands and her own body responses to the torso compression and relaxation of the harness lead leash .  

If you have a big breed or a small bread that tugs you along feel free to contact me for one-on-one training tips and solutions to help you walk with your Dog with ease and enjoyment.  

Big Max, 13 years young has his good days and not so good days. His aging dog care has us slowing down the activity but not stopping! We are aware his hearing isn't so good and his eye sight has become cloudy so we approach slowly, move slowly and stay in front of him so he doesn't get startled. His tail doesn't miss a beat but those joints and agility are a bit slow these day.  Slower to get up, slower to lay down and not as quick to catch the ball in his mouth.

I'm going to share a few tips and dietary modifications for you to consider from my favorite Integrative Vet, Dr. Andrew Jones, to help you modify your aging Dog's lifestyle to enhance their mobility, agility, digestion and cognitive pliability .I've incorporated these tips and modifications for my own pups and my clients and have had wonderful outcomes that enhanced their joy with a high quality, species appropriate dietary changes,  beneficial supplements, cold laser therapy andhomeopathic remedies and Flower Essence therapies.
