I love dogs for their unique personalities and general friendliness. I have cared for dogs for most of my life. I am familiar with training techniques for puppy and basic health needs. I trained my own dog to walk, use a crate, and do simple tricks. I am a local school teacher. During the summer I am available anytime during weekdays and weekends. Duuring the school year I am available during weekends and on a flexible basis during the week. I am available most weekdays after 4:00 pm. I have a large backyard that opens to a dog friendly field. I currently live with two other dog lovers who can provide extra attention. I am a mile away from a dog park. I live a block away from a local vet.
