I trust my dogs uncanny ability in judging a person's character and his or her overall feel. Im positive most dog owners are exactly the same. Dogs love my unique energy because it is exactly like their's. My pure love for dogs radiates around me. All I ask is for 5 min to interact with your dog and he will tell you everything you need to know. Remember actions speak louder than words so pay attention to every nuance and all the little signs. Your dog will be sending you information about our interaction the entire time. Im Healthy physically fit and have huge amounts of energy that I love to share with mans best friend. I do not hit or strike a dog ever even when it comes to discipline. Being Patient loving and verbally stern if an action calls for it, has not failed me and only worked in strengthening my relationship with a dog. I board full time. I am home all day able to give full love an attention to all fur children alike!! I assume you dont want him to be crated for the whole time your away. My home is full of love and good energy and more than noticable by your fur child. Pooches are family when they are hear and they cam tell.
