I've raised 3 dogs by myself. I consider myself very much a dog person who loves dogs and will work hard to make them happy. My favorite thing is to take dogs to a dog park and watch them play with other dogs. I consider myself kind of a 'dog whisperer' and have never met a dog who doesn't become my friend in the few minutes after I meet them. I have a huge backyard for your dog to play in. Although it is unfenced I can easily make an enclosure to ensure your pooch doesn't run away. I love dogs and look at this as an opportunity to spend more time with them. I promise your dog will come back to you happy & rested!
