My ex was a dog trainer, so I have learned a lot. I had 2 big dogs myself. I have been dog sitting/walking for about 5 years here in Melbourne. I take the dogs with me everywhere, we run and hike together. I have a big 5 bedroom house with fully fenced backyard and a dog door. You can see pictures on my profile. I have made a big dog door so trained dogs (almost all of them) can have a free access to the outside backyard. I like to walk and run and always enjoy a company. So walking a dog 2-3 times a day and giving them physical excercise is part of my routine. If the dog likes to have a ride in the car and behaves well on leash and in public I take the dog to the beaches or hike to the forests and mountains nearby (depends on the length of a booking).
