I am the leader of the pack

Pet care experience

I have lived with dogs and cats all my life. In the past 15 years I rescued over 700 dogs and 1200 cats, had them vetted and adopted them out to good homes. In addition I also operated a nonprofit wildlife rescue. I have learned about dog behavior and the issues that come with it and learned how to correct them, provided the owner works along with it. I have experience with almost every health issue and disability. I created a website with what I have learned called puppyeducation. Dogs are pack animals. Socialization is of utmost importance and critical time in your dog's development. That's why I would allow canine guests to socialize with my healthy balanced pack of 5 dogs from Chihuahua to Great Dane.

Birgit welcomed Brody into her home. We go to the dog park at least 3 times a week. Brody usually hang with the big dogs and I hoped he would enjoy having doggie friends 24/7, but I realized he has a "short man complex " lol. He thought he was their leader in their home ?. Birgit was very accommodating when we learned this new behavior. Thanks Birgit

Information Birgit S. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know if the dog is timid or fearful; is there any food aggression; is the dog dominant or submissive; any behavioral issues; health issues. I have no breed preferences.

A typical day

I have a fenced in 1 acre directly on the shores of Lake Lewisville. Dogs can play in the water and run and play as much as they want to. However, I also believe that structured walks on the leash are important, so I will take them on a walk outside of my property at least once a day.
