Safety, trust & environment

Taz plays and walks well with other dogs but I prefer to get your permission first before attempting to introduce him to your pup. I’m always refreshing the water as to make sure everyone’s hydrated. Let me know ahead of time if you have any house rules you’d like me to enforce so they don’t develop any bad habits while you’re away.

John is amazing. I almost hate announcing it! We have two high maintenance canines, but they love him. He lifted a huge weight off my shoulders for an upcoming event.

John helped us with very short notice. He made himself available for a meet and greet the day after I reached out. Scout warmed up to him quickly! We will definitely have him visit again.

Let me know if you notice any behavioral patterns I should look out for. I’d like to help train if you think your dog needs it.
