I typically like to meet the dog first with the owner present and interacting with me and the dog before taking them on in my home. It's an opportunity to assess the dog's personality, and discuss any special needs the dog may have. Do they have special feeding needs or a schedule? How often do you typically take them out? How are they with car rides? Are they housebroken? I usually come to your home for this or have you bring her to mine. I don't have a breed preference, but I would want to know any behavior issues or habits to be aware of. I'd want to know what the dog enjoys for playtime, and any health concerns. I'd want to know any training that was in progress or what needed work, so I could keep consistency with what you are teaching them. Perhaps even teach them something new!

Training: I've trained and been around most types of dogs, from teacup to (is that a horse!?) large breed. I also train horses, my cat, and even my friends (don't tell them, though!). If you'd like me to work with your dog, or cat, or horses, I'm happy to! Just ask me for details when you book your stay. Grooming: I can also offer basic grooming services. Bathing with a shampoo tailored to their skin needs, a good brush out, or nail filing. I have a professional groomer available by appointment as well, or if you have a preferred groomer, I can take them there.
