I have raised and enjoyed dogs for over 40 years. We have a large in-ground pool, and fenced backyard for your pet to enjoy. I spend a great deal of time outdoors with the dogs, and enjoy taking them to the local dog park and on neighborhood walks for additional exercise. I have had both registered AKC retrievers, elkhonds, and Siberian Huskies, as well as mixed breed dogs, from 25 pounds to over 100 pounds. Dogs will also receive minimum obedience training with voice commands and hand signals i.e., sit, stay, heel, lie down, etc, and tricks to entertain themselves and you. Owner training at no charge. Effectiveness of training dependent on duration and frequency of stays, as well as temperament and attitude of dogs. Some only want to play!!
