I'll treat your dog like a member of our family while they stay with us. I am a dog Rescuer, dog foster mom, former Nurse, and school teacher. My love of animals has been a constant in my life and it continues in my teenagers lives also. I use positive reinforcement and crate training with my own dogs. We live in the country on a large amount of land with an 8 acre lake/pond. Our dogs have the run of the land as they want. We also have senior dogs that aren't that active anymore that just relax and enjoy their retirement. Your dog/dogs will board indoors and will remain on leash when outdoors. If your dog is a water lover, and weather allows, they can be taken to play in the lake.
