I have owned dogs for 15 years. I am a medical school student. I have a lab who is a certified pet therapy dog. I know a lot about all dogs and appreciate them all. I have trained dogs in hunting, therapy, and for respectable home enjoyment. My hobbies include running, reading, hanging with my family (and their dogs), and especially enjoy the bonding of all dogs. I especially believe in the power of dogs to assuage human concerns, and believe they understand us when we don't. They are wonderful animals and I will care for yours like I car for my own. Not only will you get a boarder but someone who is willing to work with your dog in individual training needs that you see needed.
