Ellen has taken care of my one-year-old female Beauceron on several occasions, each time caring for her as if she is her own. When I am away, I have confidence that my pup is being given the attention and physical activity she needs, which is essential, but also that she is being kept in line. I never come home to a slightly less-behaved version of my dog. It is important to me that I leave her with someone who understands how dogs work, and can maintain their training in my absence. Ellen can do this with care.
