Safety, trust & environment

Depending on the dog and cat. No dogs on table, shelves and counters. Our dog likes to sun on the couch but the crate is always there for a safe option. For boarding, of course there are exceptions, generally pups feel at home in their crate overnight. Several options and sizes are available. We use Purina One Puppy - Beef currently. After they wake up and do their business they sit and patently wait for pre-measured food. A couple of potty breaks and a walk in good weather before lunch. A couple of potty breaks and possibly a second walk before dinner. I run my pup before I retire for the evening and one last potty break before bed. If I hear some distress at night I can take the pup out for a potty break. If anything comes up it is addressed.

Information Brian J. would like to know about your pet

I have more experience dealing with puppies vs. older does. I need to know as much as I can about the particular pup's schedule to help meet their needs. With puppies we went through everything from cleanliness to making sure they were experiencing the right amount of development stimulation each and everyday. A basic schedule helps the puppy can get back on track with no missed days when he/she is back in your arms.

A typical day

Typically we like to get the pugnacious pup tried as soon as they wake up but sometimes the pup just want to have a few minutes of down time before the get into activities. Walks and runs are normal daily occurrences. The pup loves ball; we could play ball all day. Bones are a pastime for our dogs as well. Hopefully the pup is ready to go to bed before the parent.

Brian is very knowledgeable about dog care and loves dogs. My dog Celia really enjoyed her stay with Brian. Celia is an anxious dog and Brian made her feel very comfortable. He gave us daily updates and sent pictures. We could really relax on vacation, knowing our fur-baby was well taken care of. Looking forward to having her stay with Brian again.
