I'm a lifelong lover of dogs, with room in my heart and home for your pup. A semi-retired college professor, I'm home full-time and am able to devote myself to your pet's individual needs. My own dog, a five-year-old, twelve-pound Maltipoo, loves to play with others. Boo Boo, a puppy-mill dog, was initially returned by his first owner to the Humane Society because of endless barking. After I devoted a lot of time and patience, he has become the world's sweetest companion. What would I do without him? Positive reinforcement, with lots of petting and praise, is the key. I'm experienced boarding other dogs of all ages here at my home, and you can feel confident your dog will get all love, all of the time.
