Our family is very used to having dogs in the home. I have lived with them since childhood, and our two children (12 and 14) learned to live with and love dogs when we had our own in this house until a couple of years ago. We already look after several friend’s dogs when they need, and we would love to welcome more! We are fortunate to live in a beautiful village with miles of riverside and woodland walks accessible without driving. The whole family love to get out and explore, with dogs, or horse riding, or just on foot! We understand that all dogs are different and we will discuss your pet’s specific requirements to ensure we give them the best care we can, including specific dietary needs and allergy regimes (foot washing eye/ear drops, medication). We are familiar with many dog training techniques, including gun dog/whistle and agility. We would plan to walk with your dog twice a day, choosing a route appropriate to give them the exercise they are used to.
