I am an active person who loves to take my dog out for hikes and runs on the trails right behind my neighborhood. On warmer days, or after a long run/hike there are many swimming holes in the areas to let dogs cool down. My husband and I have a loving 45 pound german shephard/aussie shephard mix who is a sweetie and loves to play with other dogs. We follow a positive reward training system with our dog and carry treats all the time and reward for positive behaviour. Our house has a large fenced in back yard, we always leave the dog door open, and also take then out to the trails frequently. We live the lovely dog friendly Tahoe lifestyle and my dog comes everywhere with me! Update: its Ski Season! I am happy to watch your dog while you have a fun day on the slopes! In home or I will come to yours and walk your pup, snow or shine!
