While Auggie gets excited about shepherding dogs at play, outside of that he is generally indifferent to other dogs. At best he respects and tolerates their presence in the house. He has no interest in engaging in 1 on 1 play, and is stressed out when he’s around dogs that are constantly in his face trying to goad him into something. Our accommodations are ideal for those looking for a chaperone for their dog, NOT a buddy. If you have a dog that would struggle with giving Auggie his space, I would encourage you to seek services elsewhere.

Morning walks are typically around 2-2.5 miles long, with afternoon/evening walks around 1-1.5 miles. As aforementioned, Auggie and I always play fetch as we go along. Our goal is always to have 2 walks a day, but it is not at all unheard of for us to go on 3 walks a day, especially if we have a high energy pup in our care. If you have the kind of pup who can work with and would benefit from this regiment, it would be our pleasure to include them. Our neighborhood is also an off leash paradise!! Some of our favorite locations to walk are: Big Sky Equestrian Park, the DNRC, Tower St. trails, 7th St. trails/Kelly Island, Fort Missoula Regional Park, and Blue Mountain. Aside from outdoor activities, I spend the majority of my time at home with Auggie. Resting up from our adventures is equally as important as their pursuit. When I do leave the house, Auggie is also a very sociable boy who loves meeting people, so whenever possible he accompanies me on errands and shopping trips to places that allow dogs. He loves tagging along even if it just means a car ride. If your pup has a similar disposition, leashed-up social outings and/or car rides can also be incorporated into my care for them.
