Dogs love me because I "speak" their language. All dogs, young and old, see me as the Alpha. This quality gives them a sense of calm, safety and security. It is my job as their part time Alpha to always protect them. That's the main role of the Alpha. Your dog will be with me or my assistant/husband during the day. We don't kennel the dogs in our care unless the dog is happier in the crate at night. I work to create a safe and well socialized pack no matter the age and size. I specialize in small dogs and their need for socialization. The belief that little dogs don't need much socialization is false. Although they don't require large amounts of exercise, they need socialization like any big dog. Your dog will have an enjoyable and fun time with us. I work from home. In fact, your fur baby is my business and my passion. My doors open for drop off or pick up at 7:00 am to 8:30 pm. I have a yard that has 6ft. privacy fences all around the property. In addition, if you prefer to have your fur baby crated at night, I can provide a crate for them to use. Your pup will never be alone in my home or out in the yard. Even though I have tall fences, that isn't a guarantee they won't get into trouble. I am outside monitoring their activity, whether playing with each other or exploring the yard. The smallest pups I go out with and walk no more than 3' away. Call me overly cautious, but we do have large raptors in our area and this is just another layer of security. Inside, we keep our home as safe as possible. We have locks on food cabinets and store anything that could fall and hurt a pup and what might be ingested and make them sick.
