Hi, I'm Lilly, and I love the motto that "a tired dog is a happy dog" because I believe that's very true. I have a labradoodle, and he is a bundle of joy and energy. From experiences, I think it's important to channel a dog's energy in a healthy way by walking, hiking and playing since mental and physical stimulations are both important. I always take my dog to hikes on the weekend because he would be able to socialize and get properly exercised. Why walk when you can hike and enjoy the freedom out in the open which I think it's much better. I'm available on Friday nights and weekends. I would love to take care of your dog(s) and you can expect a happy dog.
