Learn what happens, how to prepare, and what to expect when your dog needs more time or space.
Call when you want to talk it through
Sina can answer questions about your dog, location, the visit, and current terms.
Call (949) 419-4437What happens during a First Visit?
You talk with Sina about your dog and home. Sina then gives your dog time to watch, sniff, approach, or keep some distance. Touch begins gradually when your dog remains comfortable nearby.
What does dog-led mean?
Sina changes touch, distance, pacing, breaks, or the decision to finish based on what your dog does. Approaching, turning away, repositioning, pausing, returning, or leaving can all change the visit.
What if my dog does not settle?
Your dog does not need to settle on cue. Standing, moving around, getting water, checking in with you, or taking a full break can all be part of the visit.
Can I stay with my dog?
Yes. You can stay, observe, and share what you notice. Sina will also adjust your distance or participation when that helps your dog.
How should I prepare the room?
Choose a familiar place with stable footing, water nearby, and an easy way for your dog to step away. You do not need special equipment.
Where do visits happen?
Visits happen in the dog's home or another familiar setting approved in advance. Loose Pooch is based in Mission Viejo and reviews Orange County travel by address.
How long is a visit and what does it cost?
Call Sina for the current visit length, price, travel details, payment terms, and availability. Those details are confirmed before anything is placed on the calendar.
Do you work with healthy senior dogs?
Yes, when a slower wellness visit fits the individual dog. Read the senior-dog guide, then call Sina to discuss your dog's current context.
