Growing up I have always had a dog in the home from Dalmatians, Great Pyrenees, Pomeranians, to Scottish terriers. I was able to teach my dogs to sit, shake, break them from jumping on people, etc. I am home most of the day and will be able to give your dog lots of attention and care. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a culdesac so walks are very enjoyable with no loud traffic around. If your dog is crate trained I do have an extra large dog crate that I can use if your dog is staying overnight and that is what you prefer them to sleep in. I do have a 6 month old German Shepard mix pup that is very friendly and loves to play and share his toys with any other dog he meets.
