I work from home and spend a lot of time outdoors and on the trails every day with my dog, Korra. She loves playmates so I'm doing this for her, and to help save college tuition for my teenaged daughters (and pet sitter assistants). Our home is walkable to 2 great trails along Sausal Creek, and a short drive to other trail hikes. We have a large fenced yard, and indoors the dogs will be comfortable almost anywhere. Morning, mid-day, and late afternoon are our most active times with the dogs. Evenings we cuddle up on the couches. Generally, we are never out for more than a couple of hours and the dogs have whatever they need during that time to keep them comfortable. We're playful and loving, but firm with the dogs.
