I've had dogs and a cat for over 15 years. I trail run in NY with my Saint Bernard so I know when a dog is getting overheated or stressed and how to correct the situation. I plan to find routes with access to water of we run. We may go to a park for a nice walk or just around your neighborhood. My dog is very mellow but is protective of her momma. I do not want an aggressive dogs, but puppies are fine. When I am needed for an overnight, I will be bringing my Ginger with me. I work from home, so I can stop in throughout the day to let you dog out as long as you are a bit flexible with the timeframe and can work around my daily schedule.
