I have a lot of experience with all dogs, including senior dogs, rescues, aggressive dogs, happy dogs, puppies, big dogs, little dogs, special need dogs. As well as cats, horses, and small animals. I have been around all types of animals my whole life. I am dedicated to providing your dogs a comfortable place to stay. I am extremely patient with the dogs that come here because it is very scary for them. I have had dogs in my household since I was born all of which were different breeds. They all ranged from small to large, highly energetic to very lazy, dog reactive or human reactive, and dogs that love water to dogs that hate water. 5 years back I got into grooming, training, and boarding. I started with my own dogs, joined 4-H, and went up from there. Last year I took in my friend's dog, to train. She had a very good success story and she is now the dog her owners wanted her to be. I then started grooming an Australian Shepard healer mix for another friend, many friends and family rely on me to take care of there fur babies when they aren't home! My quotidian schedule currently just consists of staying home and taking care of my canines. I am going to grooming school in 2023 with that I will still have more than half my day to take care of others' canines. My schedule as of now will be all day with the canines, until then. My cats are not an issue for dogs that do not like cats. They are not seen much!! But when they are they are very confident. One was raised by my dogs from 6 weeks old. Even dogs that aren't great with cats seem to be perfect with him and I believe it's because he is so confident and isn't scared of them. I have a 6-foot tall privacy fence all the way around my backyard, all gates are very secured. All of our canines are very doting. Additionally very frolicsome. They are all very energetic and love to have a frolic. We provide them with a shaded canine run, a kiddy pool, and a canine house. the canine house is there for when they are outside if they opt to be in it. They are not out there all the time only potty breaks or to play. Dogs are my main priority and my biggest passion, I love this job and I love being able to give all these pups a safe and happy place to stay when you are away!! Summer safety tips for your puppies to stay safe. Dogs Can get Sunburnt, especially short haired dogs, supply your dog with shaded areas when they are outside or get them a sun shade shirt. The fastest way to cool your dog down if they over heat is to apply cold water on there paws and belly! Try to get all activities done in the morning or evening. If you have to walk your dog in the heat, keep them on grass or supply them with booties to avoid burning there feet on the pavement, but not only can it burn there paws it can also increase body temperature and lead to overheating. It’s also not a good idea to drive around with your dog in the back of a truck – the hot metal can burn paws quickly. Keep your babies safe in the heat! This is my full time job. My schedule consists of only caring for your pets! There is always someone home so dogs being boarded are never left alone! My dad is retired so when I need to run errands my dad is home! When caring for your pets my attempt is to keep there schedule as normal as possible so they do not get to stressed out. As far as boarding goes I have a large fenced back yard as well as a doggy door. Please note, if you request walking during the hot summer days. I do request that you have protective gear for your dogs, such as booties, or paw protection of any kind, portable water bowl, and (but not required) a cooling shirt or vest. It's burns our feet to walk on hot pavement, so I do not like to make dogs do it. I understand if you are in an apartment your dog still has to be walked! Or you could request a drop in, and I can walk your dog for 15 mins and then play with them inside. I'm sure all the safety precautions seem silly but you gave to protect your pets from this heat.
