I have a large fenced in garden. My dog "princess " is a very high energy and sometimes overly friendly especially when she first meets anyone and even more so when meeting other dogs. However she is very clever and well behaved and absolutely loves the company of other dogs. As we always had more than 1 dog aswell as regular dogs who boarded with us. But our 2 older dogs passed away and due to an unfortunate incident with 1 of our regular dogs who was older and had an undiagnosed underlying issue took a turn for the worst while in my care, traumatised me to a point that I actually stopped and am only just getting back to it now. Dont get me wrong we managed to get him to the vet in time and he survived infact the vet said we actually saved his life by not hesitating and rushing him there at 4am but it was extremely hard so that's why I am only just getting back into it. As we really miss having all the dogs around but we're not ready to get ourselves another one yet. Princess is very well socialised andlovesthecompany of other dog's butis unnuetered as we intend on having a litter from her. So can'ttakeun unnueteredmales forobviousreasons, i also have all the necessary crates,leads etc etc in order to care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am also learning how to groom dogs and have most of the equipment so love to practice on my clients dogs if they don't mind. I am a stay at home mother to my 13yr yr old daughter who is also an avid dog lover and one day hopes to become a vet. My life is devoted to my family and my dogs and any dogs that board with us are treated and classed as family. I walk my dogs every day,usually at least twice a day and having patio doors that lead straight out into my garden is ideal, as i tend to leave it open for the dogs to come in n out as they please. And no matter what i am doing, i am able to keep an eye on them at all timesandwe also have a 6foot fence all roundthe garden so it's very secure., The village i live in is surrounded by fields and wooded areas so i can allow my dogs to safely run and play off lead too,aswell as being very close to the beach where I often walk my dogs however i never take risks lettimg other people's dogs off lead unless its in a safe and secure place and I have cleared it with the dogs owner, and i do have long extending leads too. So no matter how well your dog is or isnt off lead they will still be able to join in the long leisurely walks and all the fun that entails.
