Enthusiastic dog walker and trainer

Hey, I'm Isabella. I'm 18, studying at Flinders University, and I'm looking for casual dog walking work. I have personal experience with a range of breeds, including kelpies, bullmastiffs, and staffies, and while they were puppies and older. I know the importance of your own emotions while looking after dogs, and how being calm and in control, or excited and energetic, can impact the dog. I also enjoy nature, walking my dog around my neighbourhood, and riding my bike. I look forward to hearing from you and getting the opportunity to look after your fur-baby!

I have lived with dogs most of my life. My current dog is an American Staffie cross, who we rescued as a 7 month old puppy. She had not been well socialised, and is selectively reactive with other dogs. I am training and working to calm her down, and have realised the benefits of staying calm and gaining trust.
