Information Shelley D. would like to know about your pet

I would require and special needs such as allergies and medications etc. Rules you instill in your dogs environment will be followed here, such as sleeping in a kennel, or not allowed on furniture. My dogs do no have those rules but I would aim to not create new habits for yours.

A typical day

A typical day includes country walks down the gravel road at the residence. Dogs that are not used to being off leash would have a long line attached to them for ease of control if they veer away from the pack. Treats are provided as well as treat mazes for mental stimulation.

Pet care experience

I have never been without dogs in my life, from growing up at home to being independent in my own home and raising my family. I currently have 2 large breed and 1 small breed dog. I believe socializing dogs is key to having a well rounded dog. My dogs have been socialized around adults, seniors, children, babies, cats, horses, goats, sheep and chickens.
