Important notes about behavior for dogs

We ask that you are completely transparent and honest and tell us upfront about behaviors.

If your dog has ever been aggressive toward or threatened a non-threatening dog or person, or cat inside a home, we ask that you are completely transparent and honest about it prior to the meet and greet / assessment visit. Depending on the situation, we may be able to provide services.

For example, we often walk dogs solo, so we might consider walking a dog solo who doesn't consistently interact well with other dogs. We would consider pet sitting visits for dogs who are consistently well behaved with people.

​

Questions to ask yourself about this to help clarify the issue:

Has my dog ever nipped anyone? why? Has he ever threatened anyone? Why? Has anyone ever told me she has (even if I didn't see it myself)?

Does my dog act overly protective of me even if there is no true danger?  When/in what situation is my dog protective of me? of our home? Has my dog ever threatened, bit, or attacked another dog? a cat? other? Why? (protective of food bowl? toy? bone? or seemingly out of the blue?) Is there a pattern - ie certain types / color of dogs? or certain people (our dog is afraid of people with tools or hats)? Does my dog ever lunge at other dogs while walking on leash? Has my dog ever threatened a welcomed visitor to my home (growled at, charged, nipped, bit, knocked over, excessively barked at)? Does my dog immediately comply to my commands to stop & come to me during such an event?

Has my dog ever hurt another dog due to being aggressive (versus accidentally during running  / playing)?

Has he/she ever hurt a person due to aggression (versus accidentally during play)?

Hurt = all of these: bruising, muscle /physical strain, breaking the skin. 

Has my dog ever cornered someone? Frightened someone? What were the circumstances? 

Are you ever afraid of your dog? When? Under what circumstances?

Is my dog afraid of anything? Thunder? Hats? Vacuum? etc.
