It will be a vacation for your baby

Pet care experience

I grew up with a mother who was a veterinarian of normal pets and animals, as well as exotic animals, so I traveled all over the country to different zoos with her. I have always had dogs and cats....along with various other animals around. Now I just have one St. Bernard "Delilah", who loves all other dogs....never jealous of others getting attention..................((((With deep regret and sorrow.....Delilah passed away on Saturday morning 9/16/2017.... She will be missed here so much, but she is finally back with Sampson again))))...........................( I would think that I am considered good at training dogs as I have never had a dog that wasn't housebroken within a month. Love, consistency, and understanding of the dog are all it takes. When your baby comes to stay with me, he or she is treated like royalty. If your baby has issues at home, I can work with them here on correcting those issues. I had purchased a kids' trampoline for my grandkids...Mickey and new friends who come took it over. Mickey will play in the trampoline for hours each day by himself...and when new friends come over he tries to get them to get on it as well...some do, some don't. I also purchased a blowup water slide...again...for the grandkids...Mickey took it over....and he will even go to my shed and bark at the waterslide in the summer wanting me to set it up....so much fun for the dogs ....and I even got Mickey to actually go down the slide once....but I had to help his curly butt up the ladder....fun fun fun!!

Information Mark R. would like to know about your pet

Are they good around children/people and or other dogs. Are they barkers? Are they diggers? Are they house broke? Knowing these things in advance will help me in how I work with them. I am good with different methods on correcting all of the above. Knowing if they have any bad habits in advance helps me be more prepared for a happy, fun, and safe stay here.

A typical day

Where I live in Fore Ranch, there are walking trails all over for dogs. Depending on their stay, I like to take them to Flagler Beach as they are dog-friendly on the beach and in certain restaurants as well... I love to go there with mine....and any fur babies who come to stay with me who have permission from their parents.
