Fun loving with boundaries for dogs
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs, cats, horses. Today, I have two dogs of my own (2 medium doodles) that are well-behaved, active, and socially compatible. I believe in one daily romp or hard run around to make sure your dog stays active and ultimately has fun outside and gets tired. They will be well-behaved; l'll quickly remove them from any unsafe situation. I pick up the extra poops at the park, bring back balls, and I don't throw the ball because some dogs can't share. I fast-walk, slow-walk, run or Nordic skate with yours because that's what I do with mine. Sometimes a short loop, 20-40 min. moderate pace. Caring, kind, safe environment with a firm hand. I will reinforce your sit/down/stay/wait/ here training.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Like humans, dogs have to know their boundaries. My two dogs are not allowed on furniture and I don't expect yours to be on my furniture. I have gates to restrict their access to parts of the house including no access to upstairs. We all do better this way.

Information Amy J. would like to know about your pet
Preder a quick review of your dog's needs and behaviors, over the phone at a minimum. No one, including your dog, likes surprises! Be honest! I'll ask you to complete a dog behavior form when your pup stays with me overnight.
A typical day
Fun with a purpose. Like my dogs, I'll take them out four times a day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and just before bedtime. There's definitely one mid-day good hard romp at the dog park or on the hiking trail mostly off leash as long as I trust them and they trust me.
