* Awareness of any aggression to any animals, food, toys or people * Are they current on vaccinations (Rabies etc.) and flea/tick control with verification if requested and your vet's info available? * Awareness of any behavioral "challenges" (destructiveness, inappropriate chewing, anxiety, excessive barking, marking indoors, fear of thunder/fireworks/vacuums, “acting out” nipping, “counter surfing”, not coming when called, escape artist etc). * Awareness of special and or health needs (hip dysplasia, separation anxiety, required medication administration, chronic medical conditions, special diet, allergies, in "heat", UTI’s etc.) * Any guarding / possessiveness in the crate, with food, toys etc? * Does your dog have basic training (“No, “Come”,“Stay” etc)? * What commands do you use with your dog and how do you reward good behavior and / or correct bad behavior? * Are they 100% housebroken? (Just awareness) * Are they crate trained? Do they see crates as their “den” of safety / privacy & home or as punishment in doggie jail? **“Dangerous / Vicious Breeds” in my eyes is discrimination and discrimination in any form is wrong. I do not support BSL (breed specific legislation/laws). Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and German Shepherds are among a growing list of banned and or dangerous breeds.... In life, there is perception vs reality, and my reality is there are no bad dogs, only bad owners. As a good owner, your breed of choice will never be discriminated by me and simply evaluated just like any other dog that I would be caring for. ** As a dog trainer, I prefer to learn in advance a little about your prized possessions “manners” and “listening skills” i.e., do they come when called, bolt outdoors etc. If you need to hang on tight because your dog takes YOU for a walk or need to cross the street if another dog is nearby, if you reluctantly tolerate or become frustrated / embarrassed or angry by consistent undesirable behaviors at home, if your pup doesn’t come when called, it’s quite likely it'll be the same with your chosen pet care worker and perhaps the more seasoned may have the knowledge and experience to appropriately deal with an unpredictable situation better than those with less experience. Although I'm capable to handle such circumstances, advance awareness of known naughtiness is appreciated. If these or other scenarios sound familiar and you'd like a no obligation evaluation to assess training needs, obedience or behavioral issues, please don’t hesitate to ask! Admittedly, I’ve been successfully training dogs professionally and as a hobby and can provide individually tailored solutions to suit you and your dog's specific needs. I will also focus on "training the owner" to help you read / understand and handle your dog appropriately and consistently for a mutually rewarding relationship between both dog and owner. “A trained dog is always a welcomed dog!” (Author unknown)

"Activities" are tailored to you/dog's individual preferences as one size does not fit all. ** ONE SINGLE FAMILY with more than one dog being no different My goal is to provide individual “one on one” attention without additional stress / anxiety / distractions to your pet and not booking as many dogs as I can. Countless owners have pets that do not thrive with other dogs/animals and whether from a traumatic past experience or preferring to avoid one, just ONE dog or ONE FAMILY's dogs at a time are all I will host for. Quality over quantity. * Meet & Greets are recommended, preferred and mutually beneficial however exceptions have been made in the past. ** Dogs may or may not be well socialized and some owners may or may not even be aware of their pup's previous experiences/history until they leave the pup with a caretaker for the first time. Indoors and outdoors, I will reduce or remove interaction with my pup if required for a worry free experience. Safety first so please don’t hesitate to inquire/discuss. * One night is considered 24 hours. Please pick up your pup within 24 hours of drop off. Daycare charges will be applied after 90 minutes past the arranged pick-up time. Boarding beyond scheduled pick up dates (extending the holiday vacation / missed flights etc) may cause overlap with other’s scheduled pet care commitments and subject to additional daily fee per posted Rover pricing. Although rare or unlikely, the intent is to provide professional courtesy to the next scheduled family and harmony in our household. Please keep me current of day/time when you will be dropping off/picking up your pets as there is no such thing as over communication when dealing with precious possessions!
