I've always own dogs since I was very young. I don't mind going to yard or the park and get dirty playing with your dog. I have a very lovely dog that also enjoys the company of other furry friends. I am usually available on the weekends staring on Friday evening. However, since I'm a teacher, school breaks provides availability several weeks each year. We live in a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood in Takoma Park, Maryland. I don't usually put dogs in a crate unless you need your dog to be in one. Our house has a fully fenced backyard were we usually play and have fun with our dog. My husband is a very active man that will run and play with your dog as well.
