We are a family with six children, a chocolate lab, a cat, a box turtle, and a gecko. All of us love animals. My husband, especially, is a living Dr. Dolittle, who seems to have a special connection with any animal he meets. Both of us had dogs growing up and trained our first dog together from puppyhood. We have passed on this love of animals to our children. We would all love to give your dog special attention, and our children are eager to learn more about the training and care of different dogs at different stages of life. Our lab is very friendly, and gets along well with other dogs. Be assured that your dog will receive plenty of love while in our care!
