Please let me know anything you feel would be useful for your dog's stay here. Fears, desires, preferred treats (you provide), tricks etc. Even if you pet is here for the day only, I suggest you bring a blanket, favorite toy and perhaps a used sock of yours. This way I can make a "special spot" for your pets to lie down that has familiar scents. I must add some limitations for dogs staying in my home. I do NOT accept unspayed, unneutered males. This can be dangerous for other dogs in my care. Your pets MUST be house broken, willingly going to the door when it needs to go potty/poop. If your pet is a senior and on meds that makes him lose control of his bladder or bowels, I cannot care for your dog...in your home nor mine. If your pet damages my carpet, digs up my garden, destroys any of my property I will Not be able to have your pet in my home. If I was not informed prior to booking about any of these problems and your dog stays here, you will be held responsible for damages.

I take new dogs on a tour of my yard and area in my house when first arrived. I encourage all dogs to follow me when I go outside to do chores etc. I take a dog's face in my hand while I speak the do'g name and we look into each other's eyes. Lots of petting, rubbing etc. to build a good warm relationship. Tug of war is a common play my dogs enjoy. Dog's love when I play hide n' seek....me hiding & popping out. Great rainy day game that gets them so excited they will chase each other all over the house. It is essential that I am informed of any handicaps your dog may have...such as blindness, hearing loss, digestive issues, fear of the dark etc. Please do NOT switch food prior to bringing your dog to stay here. Always continue the same food when in a new environment. Bad experiences on all of these issues have occurred and is the primary reason for me bringing this up. It is also for the comfort of your pet.
