How much of a dialogue does the owner and dog possess? Is there something of a code that is important to know? Noise pollution: I do live on Perrysville Avenue, but not to worry about traffic! The house sits well enough away from the road, tucked away behind pine trees and up on the top of the hill. This should give any dog the added security that the owner would like in effort for safety and comfort! If you had to rate from 1-10, and 10 was most anxious, how much anxiety would you think your dog has? Knowing this ahead of booking is really important so I may ask any appropriate follow-ups about the anxiety and my interaction with your loved pup.

I love walks and especially a healthy jog. Based on their energy level, I would consider the nearest park (especially for smaller breeds), or a more challenging hike on the trail system connecting Riverview Park to my neighborhood, should the interest be mutually there, and with the owners' understanding. When boarding overnight for multiple nights, the typical 3-day goes something like this: Day 1: I spend time determining your dogs' communication and obedience, with respect to how quickly we would find our comfort zone with each other. The walk is usually within a 2-3 block radius around the house and some cool off/house play time followed with TV Day 2: Back yard and longer walks (if ok) are usual, and maybe some fetch or an introduction to the Riverview Park trail system. Day 3 and on: This is when (if all goes well) I love to challenge your dog to a new command, perhaps new activity (in light fun really, I'm not here to train and take no title of trainer for sake of understanding) This is to mix things up, so as to keep us both interested. Not so much to test, but to mix up their normal. Example would be creating an obstacle course in the house, or dancing to house music in the dining hall.
