I've been around animals since I can remember. I have 2 huskies who love making new friends and have given me the capability to handle any dog, no matter the amount of crazy! Also going through training with my pups gave me a lot of useful insight and information on how to handle any pup with positive reinforcement. Flexible to an extent- would prefer a week notice for boarding but I understand things come up. Boarding is available when needed- but prefer pick up/drop off times to be in the afternoon. Must be okay with other dogs in home if boarding or sitting at my place. I have a 10 month old who really just does his own thing. Having two Huskies I make sure my child is respectful and understands what is okay to do and not okay, so no need to be worried in that area. My dogs are great with other dogs, but LOVE to play pretty consistently. I have a fenced backyard with a little kitty pool/hose to keep cool. Also have 2 kennels if needed. We also have a huge box full of nothing but dog toys and we love treats in this house! We live right up the road from 2-fenced dog park (to separate small and large pups), and also a friendly quiet neighborhood to walk in.
