I’ve been training and caring for dogs for over 30 years, starting with my first dog at age 12. Since then, dogs have been a constant part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Rottweilers, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me extensive hands-on experience with large breeds, working dogs, and a wide range of personalities and energy levels. Today I share my home with Big, my friendly 120-pound Yellow Labrador Retriever. Big has helped me develop an even deeper understanding of dog behavior, socialization, and creating a calm, structured environment where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. While I am not a certified trainer, I have successfully trained my own dogs in basic obedience, leash manners, recall, crate training, and household routines. I believe consistency, exercise, patience, and clear communication are the foundation of a happy and well-balanced dog. At Big Dog’s House, I provide a boutique home-boarding experience designed around safety, structure, and personalized care. I intentionally keep the number of guest dogs limited so every dog receives individual attention, regular exercise, affection, and supervision. My goal is simple: treat every dog like family and give owners complete peace of mind while they’re away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm place to relax, they’ll be welcomed into a safe, comfortable home where they can feel like part of the pack.
