I grew up with German Shepherds, and have rescued Akita's in the past. I have pet sat many different breeds for lots of friends. I love Dogs and they sense it. I have a big unfenced backyard. Your pet and I will go on walks around the neighborhood where there are Ponds, hills and trails or go swimming by Crystal lake :). I work from home. I have an oversized crate as well. Able to do pickup and drop off when needed. Positive reinforcement is the key. I work from home so your puppy will never be alone. I am available on the weekends and Holidays as well. Long term boarding can be arranged given advance notice. There are many trails, woods and hills in my area. We will have plenty of play time. I can also crate your dog if needed.
