I have had dogs my whole life (own now too) I love them and I also used to train them. I work from home so your dog will be around someone all day. I have a very flexible schedule so I can take your dog out as much as needed. If I ever needed to leave your dog would only be alone for a couple of hours. I know how to engage and play with each pup to fit their style. Although I live in an apartment complex there is ample grass space and a dog run. I like to reassure pet owners by sending fun pictures so they know their pup is doing. I realize every dog has their own feeding schedules and will follow the instructions given to me.
