I have a fenced in yard and do not let your pet out unsupervised. After a day on long-leash and I am sure about their recall, the long leash is no longer needed and free to play.

Kathleen was very friendly, knowledgable, and thorough with coordination to walk Chunk. We will definitely ask her to walk Chunk again.

Kathleen took great care of Huck. Since it was his first stay with Kathleen, I was a bit nervous but he came back happy. Looks like he had a great time playing with the other pups.
