I've been around animals most my life. From domestic animals of various kinds to farm animals. I boarded dogs at my home in Colorado for a couple of years and absolutely loved it! My first pup here in Florida was for a traveling nurse during the pandemic. What a sweetie! We recently added a lions mane rabbit to our family so we're holding off on boarding for a bit! My last dog was a black lab named Koda. He was a shelter dog. He was a "runner" meaning I couldn't walk him off leash. He was a "puller" and also barked at every dog he saw. With time and patience he learned to walk by my side and stopped caring about what other dogs were doing. As he learned to trust me, which took some time, he even came back to me when he ran off. He just needed to know I loved him.
