It is ok if your pup has issues sometimes, but for the safety of my other guests and myself I need to know about it. Even the littlest thing can set the best dog off, without that information you are setting me, and your fur baby up for failure. Please be 100% honest about your pups behavior and pet peeves. Also, keep in mind, that as humans we don't like everyone we meet, so why would we expect our dog to like every dog that they meet? I do not introduce my pups at the meet and greet. Over stimulating your dog during a meet and greet will alter their behavior. My focus is to get a feel for your pup, and discuss their needs with you in the calmest environment possible. The first day of the stay I let my guest roam around the house for about an hour alone, so they can familiarize themselves with the environment. Then, I rotate my pups into the house and the guest into the yard. Once everyone has calmed down, I start the introduction process. Each pup is introduced one at a time allowed to sniff each other through the gates first. If there are any signs of personalities clashing, the introduction won't go any further. If all is good, then we proceed to the next stage. I don't take any chances when it comes to the safety of my guests or myself.

I like to keep busy, so most of the time the pups will follow me around, but we always make time for fetch! I even play cookie "hide & seek", where I'll take small treats, and hide them around the room so they can find them later.
