As an original founding member of dog runs in NYC parks and a pioneer in cageless boarding. My long time clients have followed me from NYC to the Hudson Valley. I was also involved in a clinical trial at St Vincent's hospital in NYC (only 5 handlers/dogs participated in the trial) that changed the law so that pet therapy dogs can now go into all acute care hospitals in NY State. Many of my clients are household names whose dogs I have trained or/and boarded over the years. These include Valerie Harper (Rhoda & Mary Tyler Moore Show), Anna Wintour (Vogue), Asif Ali Zardari (president of Pakistan), Simon Hammerstein (Rogers & Hammerstein), etc. I take in only 5 dogs at a time that received my full attention in caring for their emotional and physical needs..lots of love and lots of exercise/play in a large, securely fenced yard. My approach is holistic which includes filtered water, no chemicals on the lawn or in the house and only natural products are used. When your dog comes for boarding, I pamper your dog as if it was my very own! At bedtime, each dog gets a massage and cookie before we say "good night!" I am always available to address all your pet care questions and concerns. I prefer dogs that are not aggressive to other dogs, non destructive, don't have separation anxiety, if larger size do not jump up on people and have basic puppy manners. Dogs play all day and at night I do use either their own crate that they arrive with or baby gates to separate them so that all dogs can get a good night's sleep. The size of the dog is not as important as the dog's tempermant and ability to mingle well with other dogs. I prefer dogs under 100 lbs or so. Why I love dog sitting Since I was a young child. I read every dog book available at the public library...and then read them again and again. Meet my pets One friendly dog of my own. Hina is a rescue flown in from Korea and loves other dogs. I take in five or less dogs at a time. About my yard I have 1/2 acre all fenced with a double 6' stockade and a padlocked gate. The dogs play on the grass, deck, patio, and sun room. They have a lot of cushioned furniture where they can take a quick dog nap! There are lots of toys to play with and my dog Hina loves tug-o-war and chase. She is thrilled to have doggie friends who come to visit her. My experience administering medication I have given dogs medication for decades. I go out of my way to insure that dogs are happy and healthy at Bed & Biscuit! I am home all the time so there is plenty of time to play with your dogs. I love making them feel safe and comfortable. Watching them play and experience joy is my goal. My focus is on safety and prevention. I have years of positive experience as a dog boarder, trainer and behaviorist. I welcome your dog into my home and my wonderful play yard. I have a cozy cottage and large, securely fenced/locked yard. Dog enjoy using the doggie door and having the freedom to choose where they want to be during the day. They not only have a wonderful play yard but a doggie lounge where they can cuddle up on a chaise lounge and love seat. I take in only 5 friendly dogs who have been carefully screened for temperament. My goal is for you to travel without worry, knowing that your dog will be having a fun and wonderful vacation at my place.
