Retired Big dog pack Leader here. If you have small pets - No worries here. My Danes are Truly Gentle Giants. Size is of No consequence here. We have traveled the U.S. for several years in a 40' toyhauling coach and off the road for good now. We don't need big house to thrive - more time spent outside anyway! My pack loves that I'm always around to give back scratches and direction. Toys can be found on every floor throughout the house. I've always owned dogs and understand that I'm no more than another dog to them. They are respected and given the attention they need. My mornings start with breakfast and play time for the pack. No matter what Im doing, there is always a dog (or three) at my feet. I take tons of little love breaks to give everyone the demanded head scratches, stick throwing and playing in the kiddie pool. The garden hose is always met with happy ears and wiggly butts around here. No treats are given unless we get a trick ... Shake, Kissy, Down, Speak, etc. If I'm going somewhere where dogs are allowed, I'm always taking a couple with me. Lowes and Tractor Supply know my Danes very well. I'm happy to give special attention when needed for anxiety, separation, or to the ladies in heat. Yes, the dogs in my home are Large, but VERY friendly. Everyone is fixed and on HW preventatives. I can handle puppies and expect the accidents - Hardwood floors can handle it. I can handle the unaltered males - I'll put a wrap around them to discourage the marking. I can handle unaltered females - they'll be wearing pretty panties! The garage (toyhauler) part is for corrections or crating, if needed. I encourage social behaviors but as pack leader (me), I'll step in. I'm doing this because it Keeps my own pack socialized. I also send my dogs to other Rover sitters for People socializing too. Life is Good ... Dogs make it Better. My home is a WAY better alternative to crating or impersonal boarding at a vets office. Boarded Fur-kids are treated like my own ... they're welcome everywhere, encouraged to follow, chew on toys, lay on pillows, anxieties are handled with personal & loving attention, and any special requirements (dietary, medications) are respected as I would expect with my own.
