I grew up my whole life on a farm, I've always had no less than 2 indoor/outdoor dogs, and plenty of indoor/outdoor cats, along with other farm animals. Every dog my family got growing up we got as a puppy and I would work with them to learn to come, sit, stay, out, heel, how to walk on a leash, and where it is okay to potty, and where it isn't. I've worked with dogs of all sizes and ages, I've learned how to understand different personalities in all kinds of dogs, hyper, relaxed, playful or lazy. I live in town Gardner now, I have a decent size back yard (not fenced, but I can work with dogs that have a tenancy to run and teach them not to over time), there is a walking trail around my housing complex, and lots of dog-friendly neighbors. My house has tile and carpet floors, the main floor is living space, upstairs is bedrooms. I will allow dogs to stay that will get on the couch or bed, but only if they are asked, if you have a pet who likes getting on the furniture, I don't mind working with them to teach them to ask first before climbing on. I also have horses on our family farm 20 minutes from our house, there is a doggy tether line out there in a nice, grassed yard if you want your dog to have some time to run a little energy off and you don't mind them being in the country. I am available to keep dogs overnight, or on a daily basis for a doggy-daycare, house sit, check on your pets during the day, or evening, and on weekends. I am usually very flexible, and willing to help in any way that I can. I look forward to getting to know you!
