I have had dogs in my life from the time I was 8 years old. I am 60 now. I have been a dog trainer for over 20 years and know the importance of exercise and impulse control. Lack of exercise is one of the main contributors to "destruction" in and around the house. If I am walking your dog, we are walking - not sniffing around. I am pretty fit for an old man! With other client's dogs, I can generally walk a mile in 17-20 minutes. If I am boarding, I will "entertain" your pup with games, walks, fetch and plenty of other outside time as much as possible. I live on a nice quiet street that will be safe for them. Give me a call to get things set up for your pooch! I have had dogs off and on (mostly on) since I was 8 years old. A daily routine to take care of dogs is nothing new to me. In fact, it is important to me to have a structured schedule for feeding, potty time, playtime, etc. so the time is easier on human and canine. I try to have a pretty rigid schedule so the dog knows what’s going on and approximately when it will take place. Daily walks and/or play time is daily on my quiet street or in my fenced in backyard.
