I have a friendly, playful, and smart 38lb Aussie that would love to have an extra playmate from time to time. I have always had a dog in my life since a young age. With weights ranging from a 105lb black lab to a 38lb Aussie. Needless to say, I can hold my ground with dogs of all different temperaments. Addi (my Aussie) and I, visit the Whirlpool trails at least 3 times a week for a walk. Having another dog join our walk would be a great addition. I have also successfully trained my dog basic obedience commands. So, there is no need to worry that your furry friend will be returned lacking the obedience they had prior. I would love to spend time with your animal, keeping it relaxed while you are away.
