I've grown up around dogs my entire life. From poodles to labradors. During the past 30 I've had a half a dozen large dogs - rottweiler, dobermans, golden retriever, rhodesian ridgebacks. Because some of these breeds are hard headed I've gone through training a few times - from the Pet Smart puppy training (HIGHLY recommended!), to one-on-one serious behavioral issue training for a rescue doberman. I take my dogs everywhere, to the store, on walks and hikes as well as camping and backpacking. I'm confident in my dog handling abilities and use reward and caring to motivate them. I have always had very happy and confident dogs because I believe each dog has their own personality and deserves unique attention and praise. I provide daycare and am able to board your dog as long as they fit in with the current pack.
