I've raised puppies for years. Was a handler at dog shows. Always enjoyed dogs. (I don't have kids and dogs are my kids.) Dogs come to me on the street, at festivals, at RV parks. I'm a magnet for dogs. They sense my love. After seeing the Ware and tare on my home and furniture I have been forced to raise the price. Carpet cleaning and so on must be done, regularly. Also I do now require that your dog be house trained and crate trained come fully clean. Thank You 😊
