A loved dog is a happy dog! I have a three year old Rhodesian Ridgeback (Jason) and head to Etobicoke Creek Off Leash, Montgomery hydro field and/or High Park every day for exercise and socialization with him and my pack(s) - I do both an off leash group morning hike and an off leash group afternoon hike. A good portion of my life revolves around the happiness of the dogs under my care and they all enjoy the freedom of an off leash walk plus the camaraderie and socialization inherent in being part of a pack. I also have two children who love animals and regularly play and cuddle with our furry guests. We are all well accustomed to handling large, strong dogs and are equally comfortable with smaller, more delicate breeds. I grew up with dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters and fish and absolutely love horses and horseback riding. As a child my pets were my best friends. My love of animals has never left me and I have transferred that love to my children. We have a large fenced backyard for extra play, fetch and chase time plus a pool if your canine fancies a swim! ;) I personally feel that animals have the potential to be an incredible source of happiness and stability if we treat them with the love, respect, exercise and socialization that they crave. I long to give your dog all of those things! He/she would be treated as a true member of our family and would be lavished with affection and love; whether he/she is part of the walking pack(s) or a boarder.
