Aggression
we have a 0 tolerance for food guarding and/or aggression and will not accept any pet(s) that do not allow our pet sitters to be around them while eating and/or touch them or their food
crate aggression is a no-no – if your dog requires crating, our pet sitters MUST be able to get them in and out of the crates without fear
we will also not accept fear aggression or any type of aggressive behavior, including aroused dogs who may redirect their aggression towards the handler
Highly reactive
a reactive dog becomes overly aroused by certain stimuli which may cause the dog walker to lose of control over the dog, causing a dangerous situation
examples of reactive behavior we do not welcome: leash reactivity such as: lunging at humans and or other pet(s) during walks, snaps or growls when approached or scared…
leash reactivity may be redirected towards the walker as aggression, please make sure your dog(s) are able to be walked by others besides yourself
we do not offer walks for dogs with a high prey drive, that behavior may pull walker to the ground therefore causing an unsafe situation
