I have a large fenced yard and Lucy goes in and out when she wants. My dog takes one big walk a day but I can walk your dog X amount of times if that is what it is used to. I live with my husband and no kids are around. I love dogs and give them a lot of attention and they respond to that. If at times you want me to come to your home, I can do that and follow the routine you have. Dogs have always been part of my life and I know how to be firm, consistent and loving. I'm a pretty active person and want to include my pets in most activites if possible.
