I have my own service dog, Captain, whom I have had since he was 10 weeks old for medical support. Thankfully, I am now doing much better and am in recovery. Captain and I share a very strong bond, and he is extremely well-trained, friendly, and reliable. Captain is very socialized and does wonderfully with dogs, cats, and children although sometimes needs a day to warm up to be playful. He walks off leash and responds very well to voice commands. He has a very calm and affectionate personality and loves to cuddle. He rarely barks or growls unless he is playing, alerting us to something important, or responding to an emergency to gain attention. Interestingly, because barking is not common in our home, if a small dog yips at him he is often surprised and will calmly back away or hide behind me. This actually makes introductions with new dogs very smooth, as he respects other dogs’ personal space and boundaries like his own. I also have another dog who is a bit of an old soul—and truly a senior at about 10 years old. He is very relaxed and spends most of his time resting in his bed under a blanket unless it’s time to eat. He enjoys lounging on the porch in the sun, getting scratches, and napping or cuddling. He is also well-behaved and socialized, just not very energetic. For boarding and care, I have a dedicated spare bedroom for dogs, which includes space for kennels and gates for separate feeding areas. All dogs are fed in separate spaces, especially when enjoying bones or special treats. I have the space to do this comfortably, and I prefer to prioritize safety. Multiple water bowls are always available, and all bowls are washed nightly. My home offers a Fenced back yard, cameras to watch the dogs if we’re not home ( very rare or short period for errands) , space for individual needs, extra dog bed and bowls.
