My dog is happiest on the couch, but only AFTER she's tired from a long walk and run around the mesa or beach. A tired dog at the end of the day is best for us all! I am fit and strong, even tempered, and can manage most dogs. I've owned a Jack Russell mix for 6+ years, and now live with a Shepard mix as well. I've done many stints of dog sitting and walking, ranging from small dogs, to a 1 year old pit bull with aggression issues, to a pack of 3 verrrry energetic shepherds, and lots in between. I know every dog and family is unique in their needs, but all want love and attention and care! I've found in my personal experience that dogs thrive within clear and solid boundaries, while getting their needs met and safety assured. I want to work with each family to help support their method of care!
