I have grown up with dogs all my life and have owned my own since 2010. I love playing with dogs and letting them explore the great outdoors with me. I take my own dog trail running, hiking, and swimming. I trained my dog to do all the usual tricks plus a few extra like to give an Eskimo kiss. I am self employed so I have a very flexible schedule. If your dog likes visitors, I can bring mine to tag along. He is very mild mannered and submissive but enjoys play with all dogs big and small. It is a busy world we live in and I know that's why some people find it difficult to own a dog. I hope to give your dog that attention he or she needs when you cannot be there. A life with a dog at home is the best kind!
