I have owned pets all my live. As of right now I have a border collie named Tucker. He is my child, he gives me unconditional love. I also have 2 cats named Rico and Janx. All of them get along well with each other. I have a huge home and back yard. The yard is fenced and wooded. My dog is not on a leash unless we are going for a walk. I live in Madison and I walk my dog at the industrial park that is close to my home. I would provide love and training to your pet. I DON'T believe in kennel dogs. I have never kennel any dogs that I have had. I did use the kennel when I was training Tucker, he was a easy to train. I have started working at a nursery school, so I will be gone from my home for 5 hours a day.
