I have had dogs my whole life and always will, I think we can learn a lot from them. Dogs are smarter than we think! I specialize in dog behavior and I am home full-time and I am able to separate the dogs if necessary, for. example sometimes the elderly the dogs can’t take the young energetic ones for too long a period of time. I am able to administer medication and help with potty training. I have hardwood floors for the young ones that are still not perfect at potty training. I do have a cat who goes in and out side and I have two small Chihuahuas but they keep to themselves. I have three teenage boys who absolutely love animals! Your dog will definitely want to come back!
