About Penny M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced back yard and a wooded area behind my house that we can explore on leash or long line. I have a 12 year old Labrador Retriever, Kinsey, who is a retired breeding dog from a service dog organization. She is very good with puppies and all around sweet natured, special gal. I have several dog safe areas in and outside my house. We can hang out on my front porch or my big back deck as they are gated. I have a puppy room that is more like an all purpose room for whelping, training, or grooming. I have nice training area in my basement as well. My living room can be turned into a puppy paradise by adding larger play equipment that puppies can climb, crawl under, and balance on to satisfy their physical needs and grow their confidence. I have crates and can offer assistance with crate training. I can provide engaging enrichment activities as well. I also have a wide variety dog toys, something for everyone!

Information Penny M. would like to know about your pet
Items to help me get to know your pet and make your pet comfortable: Does your dog has any allergies, anxiety, medical or other special needs or behavior issues? What is your pet's food preferences, how often and how much is fed? How much physical activity and what are your dog's preferred activities; walk, playtime, etc. What are your dog's sleeping habits? Does your pet have a favorite spot or routine for bedtime? Is your pet shy, friendly, energetic, or nervous around strangers? How does your pet interact with other animals or people? Does your pet have any fears or triggers? Are their any commands or behaviors I should reinforce or avoid? Are their any behavioral issues I should be aware of like excessive barking, chewing, marking in the home? Does your pet like to snuggle or have preferences about where they like or dislike to be pet or touched?
A typical day
1. Sniffy walks in my wooded area behind my house. 2. Enrichment activities as appropriate for your dog: long lasting chews, interactive feeder, variety of toys, puzzles, and age appropriate play equipment. 3. Variety of comfy dogs beds for relaxing. 4. Training and games that build trust, focus, and responsiveness.
