Preferably we would take dogs that are hypoallergenic. Our dogs don't shed, so we are not as equipped for dogs that do shed. I would love to know your dogs daily schedule, when they usually eat, and if they can be trusted with food left out for feedings. If there are any health concerns or mobility issues. If they are leash trained or can be let out into the backyard for potty and play. Level of energy the dog brings, and any behavior issues you may have dealt with, since a new environment may result in old behaviors.

Our dogs get bathroom breaks every 2 hours. I usually have to wake them up and force them outside, where I walk around the backyard to encourage them. We give dog treats for poops to keep encouraging their behavior. Inside we play a lot of fetch...mostly tossing their toys in various directions to see how fast they can chase them. My kids are planning to buy a doggy obstacle course set to allow the dogs a chance to get their exercise in a fun way.
