I get to know each dog for its personality and work with it along those lines. Over the years that I have cared for and raised dogs I have enjoyed getting to know each of them as a friend. I was raised with caring for dogs when I was young. During College, I helped care for my Aunt and Uncles Dogs. There were 5 dogs - 2 scotch terriers, 2 English Setter Hunting Dogs, and an English Lab. During that time I learned about breed personalities. The Setters were trained to hunt quail. The scotch terriers were house dogs. The Lab was your all around companion. The experience of being able to see the nature of each breed was helpful in allowing me to understand what type of activity or approach to seek out for that individual dog. Over the years the range of Dogs I have cared for range from pure breeds to mutts. Some breeds are higher management and others are low key. That's why I am a firm believer in working with each dogs nature. I can walk your dog. I can stop check up on the dog or play fetch and work with he or she by entertaining them with their favorite toys and games. I am available to stop by and let the dog out in the yard to go to the bathroom and run around a bit. I am available If you need me to drop by am to change the water and food.
