Any resource guarding or possessive behaviors should be communicated to me before any dog is dropped off at my house, I can address these things but I'd rather not have to find out about them at meal time or when a dog gets possessive over a toy or a chew. I will not take dogs that are aggressive towards other dogs, or dogs that have high prey-drives seeing as I have other animals to worry over as well. If your dog requires medication, that information should be passed on before the dog is dropped off, as should any dietary restrictions. My animals all eat Taste of the Wild, so if your dog eats another brand an amount that can last their stay would be welcome so as to avoid dietary distress.

I have a trail system right near my house and often go to parks around town to walk my own dog. I am learning new ways of obedience training in the form of games that can be played in the house and yard to engage and entertain my own dog, fosters, and rover-stays. I would ask that any dog left with me comes with his/her own collar, I.D. tag, and harness that I can use on walks. Any treats that are particularly enjoyed by the dog would also be welcomed!
