Howdy! I have a black lab/retriever mix that is 3 years old and loves to play. We have a decent sized back yard with 4 foot gates in the immediate area and 5.5 foot at the base of our property. I continuously check on my dog giving him water every 30 mins and food morning, lunch and night. When the weather get bad the dogs are more than welcome to come inside and play. I have a son (18 months) but we have watched dogs at other people’s houses and in our house since he was born so he knows the safety and the do’s and don’ts when it comes to animals. I am attentive, loving, responsible woman who is just wanting her dog to be able to have doggy fitness come over. We love to throw the ball (or stick in my dogs case), run, walk and love on animals as much as we can!
