I have had dogs all my life until now. I'm a very active person so your dog will get many chances to exhaust themselves. I love hiking in Palos Verdes hills as well as walking on the boardwalk. Not only do I believe that dogs need to enjoy as much time outside but they also need a lot of tender loving care. If your dog enjoys the dog park I would love to watch him make friends and play around there. It doesn't matter what breed your dog is, they are all sweet to me with the right attention. If you let me watch your dog I promise I will return him/her exhausted and happy. That way you can enjoy some quiet time with your pet.
