I have two Border Collies, ages 5 and 4. They have increased my overall dog education tremendously. Having an 'experienced owner' breed of dogs has led me to step up my training game and ideas for mental and physical stimulation. I am ready to use these skills I've developed to raise a couple of good boys, to help you with walks and drop-in visits. I have had my dogs since they were each 1 month old. I am well educated on appropriate exercising needs, basic care, and raw and kibble feeding. I also am aware of safety and basic first aid skills. I am a foster home for Clancy's Dream. Clancy's Dream works to save the lives and rehome Border Collies from all situations across the country. My little guy is an 'adoption failure'. :) I have worked with reactive and anxious dogs. I spend my free time researching training techniques, behaviors, and general health articles. I regularly pet sit for friends in multi-pet households throughout the year. I have worked with daily care of chickens, cats, and dogs of all sizes. I have spent time working for a local dog food company in a pet friendly environment. I have three cats and know the patience and attention they require as well. I have grown up with a Lab, Rottweiler, Mastiff, and a Cane Corso. I put my heart into their little bodies and want them to have a great time when were together and be all set to go back inside, hopefully for a nap. I am very conscious about when they go to the bathroom. If they've just played hard I'm going to wait until they've peed again before ending a session. I don't want anyone to be uncomfortable!
