Important Questions for Sheila
Why should you trust me with your dog?
I am a very responsible person that LOVES dogs. I have kids of my own so I really understand the importance of safety regarding your dog. I keep the dogs safe from cars at all times and I make sure the leash is very secure in my hand. Also, I speak in low comforting tones during the walk so they can feel safe and secure.
What do you enjoy about working at Active Dog?
I first was introduced to Active Dog from someone I met in a shop, when she noticed my dog. She was so friendly and I eventually got in touch and met Eric to have my dog go on hikes. It was then that I met Alicia and she took such good care of my dog that a little seed was planted that one day wouldn’t it be nice to become a dog walker! Well that day came and AD was looking for walkers and Alicia mentioned it to me and I came on board. I walk part time and enjoy every minute of it.
What did you do before you worked at Active Dog and why did you decide to work with dogs?
In my past life, I owned an Italian wine importing company. I was mainly managing sales. I decided to “retire” from that world and start a new venture. And decided, having gone through the training process with my dogs, it was so informative to me about so many other things in life.
The biggest thing was how to communicate with them. I trained my first dog to be a Therapy Dog and it was so rewarding to see her work with people to make them happy. I was hooked at that point, and recently got another dog and I am in the process of training her.

Deegan learning from mom that offering polite alternative behaviors we like, such as a “look” cue, when there are other exciting pups around, will get better reinforcers as a result like yummy treats!🐾❤️
Yayy way to go Deegan! #dogtraining ... See MoreSee Less
