Thanks for considering me I have had my dog, Milo (30ish pound lab/beagle mix) for over 10 years and had a second one for around 6, while also growing up with one. Milo rarely has any issues with other dogs and sometimes almost ignores them, as he is more interested in people. As it stands right now, I am home during the daytime, but will update that, if needed. We do not have a problem with dogs getting on furniture, etc, and am able to take them out as many times as they are used to or want. Thanks for reading, looking forward to meeting your dog!
