I had four Labs at the same time growing up and I trained them myself. They were very messy in the beginning but after a couple of months they were not only in shape but very well mannered. I love taking care of animals and I enjoy exercising so I don’t mind taking them with me on runs! I live on a very large property (about 10 acres) that is gated so there is plenty of space for your dog to run around and play. I have class from 10 am to 2 pm every day and then I am completely free to take care of them for the remainder of the day. I guarantee your dog will be in good hands under my care.
