Dogs will love that I'll actually engage them and do activities with them. I quite enjoyed training the dogs I had in the past. I had an Australian Cattle dog and that guy LOVED to be put through the mill. Fetching balls, going for runs, receiving treats for obedience training, Acer lived for activity and solving puzzles. I'm home full time as I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I can keep a watchful eye on your beloved canine (or cat) and there's a park nearby called the Canine Club that we could shoot over to for some exercise and socialization. I'm available to board your dog while you're on vacation, but do your dog and me a favor. If the dog has favorite toys or treats, bring those with the dog when you drop off. The dog will be most comfortable if as many things as possible are familiar. So while the dog is here, the dog needs their toys, their treats, their leash, their kennel (if they have one,) their water and food bowl. You get the idea. I have those things if the occasion calls for it, but really the dog needs as much "home" as they can get while being here. Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you.
