I have grown up with dogs all my life. I love all pets but dogs will always be man's best friend. I participated in obedience training with multiple dogs through my local 4H club. I love playing with dogs or just lounging around. I've raised hyper dogs and lazy dogs. The key to bonding with a dog is figuring out what they like. Just like people no two are alike. I am pretty active and like to walk/run trails especially the Millennium trail just outside GR, they are beautiful and a great spot for a dog to get some fresh air. I work Monday-Friday 8hrs a day but am always willing to dedicate time after work and on the weekends to some 4 legged friends. Walking, playing, and house sitting work best for me due to my schedule but am open to housing your dog on weekend as well. I have a fully fenced in back yard and am close to a park with plenty of space to play and exercise.
