I am a dog mom to Gracie, a chocolate lab, who is a fully trained service dog. We did her basic training, and was finish trained by a service dog trainer in about 5 sessions. I'd be happy to work with your fur-baby on basic obedience as it's all about play! I have been raised with dogs, and always had a dog as an adult. I believe that animals are always good, just looking for direction and attention. Both of which come from a place of love in my heart for all animals. I have also had rabbits, cats, guinnea pigs, rats and ferrits. I have had the pleasure to care for Sophie, a black lab, every night while her mom worked graveyard, running Sunrise Hospital as the House Supervisor. Sophie's dad had passed away, and since she had never spent a night alone, we became her surrogate mom and dad and she remains a part of our family to this day and comes for playdates when I'm not caregiving for other families. I'd consider it an honor to care for your pup in your absence. It's a responsibility I take seriously, and will offer them the same love and care as I would wish my own girl, Gracie, to receive if the roles were reversed.
