I owned & operated a Dog Boarding & Rescue facility for ten years and previous to that have had dogs all my life. I currently have three shepherd /husky mixes who share my home. I am able to give your dog a safe walk around your home area or play as you designate. If you'd like your friend to run and work off energy I have two and a half acres of chain link safe fencing {six to ten feet high} for him/her to do that. I've trained dogs in the basics ...have worked with all sizes and shapes -all dogs deserve good handling :). I am available afternoons and evenings and even the shyest or dogs with seperation anxiety will grow to enjoy our time.
