I cared for a collie during my childhood and during my teen years. I have a lab now, for 13 years. Both dogs and the others that I have met, get the love they deserve. I really enjoy playing with them and teaching them good behavior. I believe in assertive over aggressive training. Your family member's enjoyment of life is my top priority. I want you to be able to enjoy your dog as well. Pup to elder dog will receive customized care that is also customized to family needs. No human is the same which is also true for a dog. My maintenance of family compatibility is critical. The dog is a member of the family and I have responsibility to assist in its maintenance.
