I've been around dogs and puppies my whole life. Growing up my brother bred part wolf part german shepherds, and I have experience training puppies. Throughout my life I've lived with and trained chihuahuas, shitzus, terriers, pointers, golden retrievers, poodles, labradors, huskies, hounds and catahoula leopard dogs, as well as mixes and mutts of all kinds. My friends and family rely on me to watch, feed, walk and bathe their dogs for them, as they all claim that I am a dog whisperer. :) I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. There is abundant green space all around me and I am a very active person and go for walks twice a day with my dog, year round, regardless of the weather. I have a fenced in yard with a large garden and abundant wild life, for this reason I will always be outside to supervise and play with the dogs while they are out there. It is possible for me to use a crate for your dog, if you prefer. I have a sweet, half blind, pointer/poodle mix who is 9 years old. She is mild mannered and friendly, although she takes a little bit of time to warm up and play with a new dog. Your dog will be a welcome addition to our home and will have fun exploring the area's around my house on walks with us. The Saint Anthony off leash dog park is a couple blocks from my house and I can bring your dog there too if they would like that. :) I am happy to comply with your preferences with your dog. *Please note: if your dog has separation anxiety and you do not have medication for them, or if your dog has destructive tendencies and is not happy in a kennel, do not request a booking with me.
