I loved this interview with Jennifer. Talking with her I understand 100% how she manages to work with all of her canine companions (and their people) so well.
We talk about how she went from IT specialist to having a dog walking service and how she hasn’t regretted it at all.
She talks about what it is like to foster dogs (and mentions that all of you who have adopted a dog from foster care should definitely feel free to keep photo updates on your dog coming indefinitely).
Each one of them has or had their own peculiarities. One of her fosters took months to be housetrained, but I swear I have never had someone talk about cleaning up pee in their house for months on end in such a chill way as Jennifer.
I am sure that is made possible by her general relaxed attitude towards life, combined with a genuine curiosity to learn more about our canine friends.
Though she is not a dog trainer she explains how she tries to adhere to the training protocols used by the trainers of her different dog walking dogs as well as possible.
When she’s not sure how to handle something she communicates with the guardians to figure out what to do.
If I were living in Amsterdam I would hire her pronto. How many dogwalkers do you know that will gladly walk reactive dogs and be willing to follow your training methods?
Links to where you can find Jennifer
Apparently, during the interview, some of the laid-back attitude also rubbed off on me and I almost forgot to ask her where people could find her and her service, but not to worry, you will find the links below.
If you’re wanting some pointers on starting your own dogwalking service, then Jennifer mentions she’s happy to provide you with some information.
