Dogwalking /training in Oslo, Norway

  Description

  I need help dogwalking/training my 2 year old english Bulldog, Olga.
  
  We recently moved back to Oslo after living in the countryside for a year. Olga did not handle that very well. She is kind of a fragile soul, that barks at everyone- even thoug she has the friendliest personality and loves cuddles an human interaction.
  English bulldogs are also known to be very stubborn, Olga needs a firm but soft hand, and its best that you have experience with dogs.
  
  I am semi retired social worker, have some small jobs but much of the days I am free to enjoy life. I had a knee joint replacement surgery 1,5 years ago, and being in the 60-ties my dog would like younger spirits to walk and entertain her sometimes.
  
  Life can take sudden U-turns and I have som very difficult months behind me. Did not have the energy to maintain my workaway envolvment, but now I am putting myself together and start climbing " uphill" again.
  This involves moving back to Oslo- I am living in the same area as before, close to Maridalen valley, walking distance to recreational forests, river , and lakes- yet only 25 minutes with public transport to the city center. Its really a very beautiful area,
  
  My appartment here is smaller than I am used to, its only one bedroom, but there is a small storage room where I have a bed so its possible to sleep there as well. In need of privacy during daytime, you can use my bedroom, as I only use it to sleep during night.
  I think shorter placement will work best, so I would like to offer 7-10 days appr.
  
  Your tasks will be walking/training Olga and keep her company when I am working- I mostly works afternoon/ evenings. You will have plenty of time to enjoy yoyrself and experience Oslo and the nature.
  I know my country fairly well as I have been living here and there- and can give you good advise for further travels in Norway. In the summer I will also need some garden help at my cottage in the countryside
  
  I have been a workaway host for about 10 years, and met so many wonderful people that have enrichend my life and widen my horizon, I know there are more of you out there, that I still havent met.
  
  
  
  NOTICE THAT I CAN ONLY HOST 1 PERSON
