dog will be free, happy, out of harms way on their mini vacation in my large clean home, while having the luxury of my yard garden with trees for shade to rest or do natural dog business, along with grass and flowers to learn and or play. Dog can swim in children's swimming pool if they desire in hotter weather. Dog has access to 2nd floor for additional exercise up and down steps. Yard door is always open in the spring and summer for choice of dogs mood, total independence. Fresh water is kept consistently in a metal bowl on kool tile kitchen floor. Dog toys and treats are a daily learning experience. Timeouts too. Back scratching, petting, brushing, face and ear washing is important. Extremely calm environment for a stress free, safe away from home visit.
