SAFETY: After years of experience, I've learned to make my home dog-proof/dog-friendly! Trashbins are inaccessible, toilets are unlickable, food scraps are nowhere to be found (not even table tops pups may accidentally sneak up on!), and windows have mesh to prevent an accidents. I also make sure to vacuum and do a sweep of the house to make sure everything is high up or in an pup-proof drawer before pups arrive. I may also ask if you have pet insurance, and a vet helpline that I may utilize if an accident/emergency were to occur. My own dog, Lu, is very accident prone, so I have a lot of experience with emergency visits and requesting guidance through a vet consultation. TRUST/A little background about me: I wasn't allowed to have a dog of my own, so I used to geek out about dogs so much so I spent my childhood watching dog training shows, assisting at at doggy dare care, and dog sitting, in preparation to become a vet. I then got the reality check that I was not interested in surgery! So instead, I use my experience and knowledge about dogs to walk, board, sit, train, foster, and now, own! ENVIRONMENT: In our apartment, we have dog bed stations around the house. There are sun spots that my dog loves to lay in, along with stools or dog beds near our work stations so that the dogs can hangout with us. When bored, my dog has a toy basket in the open where they can go in and grab toys when wanted. Dogs are allowed on the couch, "sunbathing chairs," and on the bed at night. (I prefer if they could sleep in their crate, bed, or couch, but good puppers who stay at the foot of the bed/aren't accident-prone are very welcome)!
