We love dogs and our dog loves to have friends over. Our fenced-in back yard is great for romping and our large, off the street front yard is great for stick-finding and sunning. We have woods to romp and lots of trees to smell. We enjoy hiking so if your dog likes the woods, and can behave on leash, they can take a ride and a hike in the beautiful blue ridge mountains. Our dog loves to show new friends around the space and share her balls and favorite spots. My husband has vast experience with dogs, he began dog training in elementary school and has had few months, if any without a dog companion. The rest of us learned from him, the kids grew up with a dog in the house; my son wants to pet all the dogs.
