I live in a townhome so there’s a small backyard area. The area is safe with lots of families and dog owners in the neighborhood. I’m open to long walks, short walks, sniffari’s, drop ins, etc. Inside of my home, the garbage is enclosed within a pull out trash bin so dogs aren’t likely to get through. Cleaning and vacuuming happens regularly so there are minimal hairballs or choking hazards. The doggie gate is located along the stairs in case we need to keep them in a dedicated area but usually it’s left open for the doggies to roam free (as they are potty trained). Feeding is done in different areas so no resource guarding takes place. We have a large crate that the dogs treat at their personal home, they go in and out as they please. I like to keep their potty breaks on a schedule as well as feeding time and the air purifier runs constant.

I like to walk them by letting them lead, as well as letting them sniff. There are plenty of stuffed toys and some enrichment type ones. One lick mat, Milo likes to trance along the couch. There’s a window upstairs that’s dog level so sometimes they people watch. There’s the Los Gatos Creek Trail nearby to do longer walks.
