Hi! My name is Arawa! I am moving to Nijmegen the 16th of October. I have a German Sheperd who will stay at my parents house back in Italy until my partner and I find a long-term apartment. As for now, we will be living in a airbnb until end of November. As I know I will miss my dog enormously I'd love to walk other dogs to make that month and a half without my sweet Mooi less painful. Back home I train Mooi for search and rescue of lost people with the Italian civilian protection so I happen to know how to behave around dogs as we also train other dogs there who have behavioural problems.

I love to drain the dog's energy out, so give me your dog's favourite toy and we will have so much fun walking together!

I may also help to do some training during the walks or may give some suggestions if you would want to. However, I am not a certified trainer so if I think it's necessary to go to a professional I'll let you know or ask some professional trainers that i know their opinion.

About me: I will be studying cognitive neuroscience at Radboud university. I used to live in Maastricht (where I graduated from my bcs in Psychology)

I love being outdoors and spending time with pets.

I grew up with dogs around: during my childhood I had two German Shepherds (yes gs are my breed) and a jack russel. I lived 3 years with a friend who has an Italian greyhound and we took care of him together so I also have more experience with that breed. Furthermore, last year I signed up for the canine unit of the italian civilian protection and I have been always in contact with all kinds of dogs and trainings during that time. My family has a Husky back in Italy too.

last but not least, I am an amateur photographer and would love to shot some nice pictures of your dog or your dog and you :)
