Availability
I currently have 5 of my own dogs at home - 3 german shepherds one pointer and one chihuahua cross. They all get along and are very bonded and happy with each other. They have shared their home, toys and snacks (and me) happily for most of their lives.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
We take forest walks daily and cover 8-10km Most of the walks we practice recall like ‘touch’ or ‘back’ and if you prefer, I can do training as well while your dog is in my care. I have enrichment available like kongs and lickie mats and we often have a sniffari for sausages / cheese or treats. Chews will be given supervised and all dogs will be separated while enjoying high value treats. I make sure the dog is safe, confident in the activities and loved.

Information Nicole H. would like to know about your pet
would not put your dog in a situation where they would feel uncomfortable, so if you think your dog would not be happy with multiple dogs in the home, or any other reason, please do not book me in. Excessive barking / demand barking / stress barking or any stress related behaviours like pacing, excessive panting at rest and whining, would also require a back up plan as my goal is to make sure all of the dogs in the home including my own are happy and confident.

Pet care experience
I look forward to welcoming your dog to our group of pals! We have a good few regulars in the group and I’m hoping to add more. *******Services will have drop off / collection at a meeting point (NOT my home)******* I am an experienced dog trainer, Mantrailing instructor and dog groomer who is happy to mind your dog overnight in the home I share with my 5 indoor dogs I am cpr and first aid trained, Garda vetted and privately insured I have experience in reactivity on leash and general pet training from puppy to adult My own dogs have shared their home with hundreds of rescue and boarding dogs over the years. We enjoy walks in the forest, "sniffaris" (searching for treats like sausage and cheese) and snuggling up together at the end of the day. I might need to ask additional questions about your dog and their needs before I accept the booking. I might request a meet and greet at your home before accepting bookings. You can also look at my social media profile at 4 Furry Paws Dog Training I have cameras in my home to ensure the safety of my pets and yours There will be additional cleaning charges for dogs who ‘mark’, excessively pee or damage things in my home All dogs must be okay with going out to the garden to toilet and allowing me to do normal daily activities, shower, clean etc. without getting stressed *****please share with me details about your dog such as ‘counter surfing’, leash reactivity, separation anxiety and resource guarding so we can decide if my home is the best fit Dogs must be happy to share space and sometimes toys and beds with other dogs. Dogs must be okay taking a treat near another dog. All dogs are fed separately. Please keep in mind when your dog is coming into season, if your dog comes in season while staying with me, you will need to find alternative accommodation and there will not be a refund.
