Dogs have always been a part of my life. My parents bred British Staffordshire Terriers when I was a small child, and we always had multiple dogs in our home. More recently I have raised and trained Jack Russell Terriers and Border Collies. I use clicker based positive training methods to teach dogs basic commands as well as some fun tricks:) I am a certified high school English teacher, but I left my public school teaching job a few years ago and now only work part time remotely. I love to hike, walk, and run so I can exercise your dog any way you prefer. We only have one dog right now, a young male border collie who is very friendly to other dogs and would appreciate a doggie friend. We can also keep the dogs separate if need be. Some notes on pricing: 1. Boarding: I charge $50 a night for boarding which = a 24 hour period. If you will need an additional 1/2 day, (up to 6 hours) it will be an additional $20. An additional 6 + hours is an additional $30. This only applies to stays of 2 nights or less. Any stay of over 3 nights and I allow for late pick-up or early drop off with no extra charge. 2. Day care: Daycare rates are for up to 10 hours of care. Above that is an additional $10 charge. 3. I offer an extended stay discount of 10% for any stay of one week or longer. For very long stays I can offer larger discounts. Contact me to discuss your specific situation. Some notes on dog size: I am open to taking dogs that are up to 60 pounds on a case by case basis.
