I have three dogs and a cat. Two bigger dogs and one little one. I have a chocolate lab that goes on many hikes with me. I know like humans, dogs are all different. Dog owners have different needs for their own dogs. I am a submarine veteran. I run often and if I need to tire your dog out I can as well. I can also take your dog on hikes during the day if that's what you would like. I know some amazing tick free places that I hike. I have my own hiking group and tons of my friends and myself bring our dogs. I have a 4runner to drive your dog to and from anywhere. I hope to hear from you soon.
