Yes and no. Yes, I am even MORE seriously considering renaming K9 Kate's to K9 Kadoodle :) No, I can't handle the cuteness that is OLIVE!
Melissa reached out last week after being referred by the amazing Stephanie Tran of When Hounds Fly. Stephanie is a trainer with whom I've shared a particularly positive working relationship. We first connected about four months ago when a dog who was working with Stephanie joined our pack. From day one, Stephanie was beyond receptive to keeping me posted on her own work with the dog and to receiving updates from me. The implications of working with a dog trainer like Stephanie cannot be understated; as a result of her commitment, this very social dog can partake (more like rock out, really!) in offleash dog walks.
As a dog walker and the owner of a mid-sized dog walking company, I do determine which pet care professionals I work with and refer to. I will always, in a heartbeat, refer to Stephanie Tran and her When Hounds Fly family. Stephanie - ok, love fest coming- is super accessible, positive, and embraces the same team mentality I personally subscribe to.
Stephanie, you rock!
Olive, you are a very delicious Goldendoodle. I see some sassy doodleness in you and, well, I LIKE it! Melissa and Michael, thank you for letting me be Olive's dog walker. Melissa, I promise to love this "Angry Bird" each and every walk.
