I recently retired and want to spend my day with your dog! I have been training dogs and showing since I was a kid in 4-H. As a 4-H leader, we were the first club in the area to use positive reinforcement.I've done clicker training at our local civic center and have shown in conformation and obedience. I watch dogs in my home for friends. We are a dog friendly household and my dogs are used to sharing their space with new friends. We have a secure fenced large yard and our house is clean but dog friendly. We live on the beach so water and woods activities are possible. If a dog wishes and depending on stages of life can spend the day sleeping in the sun or on a comfy cushion by the woodstove. I think ahead so we can avoid accidents. I'm organized and reliable. I don't mind quirky dogs as long as I know what the quirk is. Let me be your dog's best friend!
