We are a family of dog lovers, myself and my two sons 9 and 12 and live in Raumati South. Our dog (Finlay) is a small Cavoodle mix and he would love some more canine company - he is full of energy and loves to play and chase.&nbsp;
I work from home during the week so can care for dogs whose owners are out at work and Finlay would love to host a furry friend and make them feel at home.
Our property has plenty of space for exploring outside and is fully fenced and also good for doggos who would rather chill and cuddle up on the couch and stay close to the humans (like our boy). We live close to the beach and get out for daily walks.
I grew up with dogs and we often look after family members dogs when they go away on holiday. I am reliable and trustworthy and will spoil your dog with love and attention and happily cater to their specific needs.

My approach
I specialise in one-on-one walks with dog-reactive dogs. Every walk aims to start and finish with a few minutes of peaceful observation of the world going by. I specifically avoid close proximity to other dogs, while still building ease with dogs at a distance.&nbsp;
If treats are provided, I use them to provide positive reinforcement. If no treats are provided, I offer a few of my own while focusing primarily on praise-based reinforcement and calm body language.&nbsp;
In-person introductions are crucial for everyone involved. Once I have an understanding of your dog's baseline personality and behaviour, as well as more details around their reactivity and triggers, we can decide together if we're a good, safe fit.&nbsp;
For my own safety, I prefer to walk dogs weighing under 30kg. That's negotiable, of course, on a dog-by-dog basis.
For dogs weighing under 15kg, I also have a fully-enclosed all-terrain dog carriage. This is a fantastic resource for senior dogs or dogs with joint issues or those recovering from illness or injury.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
My story&nbsp;&nbsp;
I'm a 40-year-old shift worker in the healthcare field, which gives me flexibility to walk and visit during weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I currently share my life with four cats and one dog. Dante is my goofball Beardie/Lab X. I've owned two previous dogs - my soul-dog, Topaz, was a Keeshond, and my family dog, Toby, was a Husky/Border Collie X. Spitzes and Collies are where most of my breed experience lies.&nbsp;
I've learned so much about dog reactivity over the last few years. When my dog Dante had an unforeseen scare as a young adolescent, he decided to make it clear forevermore that when it comes to new and unfamiliar dogs, he values his personal space. Cue a years-long crash course in dog behaviour and etiquette. The lessons are still ongoing, and day by day they become clearer and more positive. I have a new appreciation for otherwise good-natured dogs who struggle with proximity to other dogs. Helping them learn to down-regulate and find confidence in their surroundings has become a passion of mine for life.&nbsp;
I look forward to meeting you and your good girls and boys!

Hi,
My name is Steve &amp; I live in Paraparaumu Beach with my rescue dog.
I have been around dogs in particularly all my life. Either family pets or helping look after friends dogs.&nbsp;
I have been a volunteer at different Wellington animal rescue centres for over 5 years mostly being dog focused although also some cats. I am confident around &amp; used to dealing with dogs of all ages, sizes &amp; temperaments. I've also volunteered with a local dog training club so also familiar with dog training techniques .
I have used Pawshake services for a couple of years to assist with my dog when busy/out &amp; now I have some free time on my hands thought would be a good oppurtunity to help out with other local dogs.
When not walking/taking care of my dog or volunteering my other passions are travel &amp; music.
Any questons then feel free to get in touch.

Steve&nbsp;
