I need to know that your dog does not shed (is hypoallergenicbc I am allergic but am riding the doodle wave!), does not have any aggression toward dogs or people, or separation anxiety (whining, barking, destructive behavior) when left alone. Dogs need to be able to settle themselvesI cannot take dogs who cannot settle themselves and have good dog-on-dog social skills. They must be able to walk well on a leash. Puppies are usually too rambunctious and may get in another dog's personal space, so please take that into consideration. Excessive barking (mail person barking is ok) disturbs my upstairs neighbor and the other dogs. Other than that, I just want to learn what your dog likes and what would make him and you happy!

We go to Millenium Park in West Roxbury in the morning, off leash for about 45 minutes. If your dog can't be off leash, we go to a nearby fenced-in field. If your dog is older or cannot be that active, I have been known to use pet strollers. I have a 15 year old dog client who would rather stay home. I cater to each dog's needs. After their run, they usually nap, on the couch or on one of the dog beds. It is important for dogs to have some down time. Once they're up, we play in the yard and go on a neighborhood leashed walk. Back home, more games! I have tons of toys... balls for fetch and hide-n-seek, brain games, tug, etc. All day long, I give each dog tons of one-on-one attention and affection. I get to know each dog's personality. The dogs get to make friends with other dogs, too!
