Hey there, thanks for checking out my page! 🤗 I'm an avid dog lover. I've always had them a part of my family and have over 10+ years dog boarding and training. I'm excited to share that love with your beloved family member while you're away. Currently, I have 2 American Shepherds (3 & 6 years old) and plan on adding more to our pack soon. Our older guys is a reactive boi, who needs lots of TLC, therefore we're very particular about who we bring into the pack. We prefer to care for female dogs, as they tend to bring gentle/ non-competitive energy into the pack. We are extremely selective, but extremely communicative. As a pack, We go on long outdoor hikes 3-4x a week, regardless of weather. So your fur baby can expect the same. We are diligent trainers, and will go to great lengths to ensure our dogs are happy members of the pack. We believe that dogs are their happiest when they are positively challenged and positively rewarded for their hard work. We do this by providing them with "jobs" and "tasks" to complete. It has been our experience that for dogs who struggle with anxiety, the best to mitigate it is through the provision of daily expectations of work, exercise, and play. Therefore, (upon request) in addition to sitting we will provide basic obedience training for your loved one.
