I require a meet and greet appointment for all new clients. Every dog is different regardless of its breed. As you can see from my reviews, my system works. During the meet and greet we will discuss your pups needs/habits of exercise, eating and night-time routine and any other special needs your pup may have. I do not bring my dog outside for meet and greets after having a prospective client attacked my dog. This is non-negotiable. From my experience and research, pups best get to know each other without their owners nearby as they become protective of their owners. I once had over ten dogs in my home. It took a couple of days getting everyone acquainted, but after those couple of days, they all played freely and safely together outside and lounged inside with no problems. My system is working well.

What to expect when your pup stays with me: We are up and awake by 6:30. Mornings for dogs is whatever suits them (feedings, exercise, cuddle time....). Most days I am at home; however, I have no set schedule as I often get requests to substitute teach in the schools near my home. If I have your pup on a teaching day, s/he will get plenty of exercise before I leave and a 30 minute outside break within 4 hours. Any time I am away from my home, the personality and behaviors of your dog will determine if he/she are left to roam freely in a specified area of my home or if she/he need to be crated. That will be thoroughly discussed with you during our meet and greet. I have 3 separate levels to my home which gives us many options for accommodating several clients at the same time. Dogs are never left unsupervised with dogs from other households. Afternoons and evenings pups have plenty of outside time both being independent and playing with me. They also have free lounging time inside alongside my own pup or other clients if they are all getting along.
