I have always helped friends out with their dogs when asked. References are available upon request. Exercise it very important for all of us, and am a daily walker. My feeling is a tired dog is a good dog. I'm retired and live in a dog friendly community that has a fenced in dog park with agility equipment as well as walking trails and a private beach. I prefer taking dogs to a state park close by, with plenty of free running space and also a beach on the bay. Dogs are allowed at the state park and it is not heavily used. We usually have it to ourselves but currently have a nice dog walking group that meets daily. My yard is spacious and fenced in and safe. Most importantly, I love dogs.
