I've spent the past 2 years raising and training a beautiful bird dog puppy from 8 weeks old to 80 exuberant pounds! We worked our way from potty training, leash training, and crate training, to recall, heeling, pointing, and retrieving. I understand that play and exercise are essential for your pup's well being and will tailor our day to their needs. I'd be happy to go for a hike, jog, swim, or simply a neighborhood stroll. I have experience watching dogs who required both oral and topical medications. I keep a detailed account of food and medicine administration, daily activities, and your dog's behavior. I know it can be hard to be away-- I can keep you updated with photos and a recap of the day. Kitties in the house-- no worries! I'd be happy to keep all your fluffy friends company!
