Our cozy home sits on quarter acre of land with fully fenced in yard. Our dogs have the whole basement with a treadmill to them selves. Their routine in the morning is to run & walk for 30min on a treadmill and then to go for 30-45min walk usually with backpack. In the afternoon they either go for another 30-45 min walk, or rollerblading or to a local dog park I am now stay at home mom so I am home all day but one of our requirement is that your dog has to be good with babies/childre.n . We are big fans of Cesar Millan and so the agenda in our house is "excersise, discipline and then affection". I am a Certifed Gentle Touch Method dog trainer and I am a graduate of Cesar Millan's workshop "Training Cesar's Way". So we can mix business with pleasure and adress any unwanted behaviour your dog may have developed. Also upon your request I will post pictures of your dog so you know how he/she is enjoying his/hers vacation time. Your four legged pooch will be relaxed, calm and submissive when you return!
