I grew up with dogs and started training dogs for Assistant Dogs of America at a young age. I have successfully fostered, trained, and placed several dogs for the Assistant Dogs of America program. I have adopted all my past dogs and have experience with a wide variety of dog breeds. We recently lost our adopted 12-year-old Great "DoberDane" and 16-year-old Mini Bull Terrier dogs, due to natural causes. We are taking some time to mourn their loss, but have decided to begin accepting new clients again. We believe boarding will help further aid in this transitional period. Lauren and I have a single-family home with a fully fenced yard. Our Mini-Bull Terrier was an escape artist, so our yard is very secure. We also both work from home, and our home office overlooks the backyard. This allows us to always have the ability to monitor our dogs, regardless if they are indoors or out. We also have a large pet door so our dogs can go outside at their leisure. We live near downtown Littleton, with multiple parks nearby, which we frequent with our dogs. We like to create a fun, happy, and low-stress atmosphere for all dogs. Walks, dog park visits, and daily stimuli are high priorities. We have experience with senior dogs, mobility issues, regular/timely medicine administration, diabetes management (injections/glucose testing), heart-related issues (over excitement), dog aggression issues, etc. Our Great Dane had diabetes and our Mini-Bull had a chronic heart condition. Thus, we are very accustomed to and comfortable administering injections, medications, and special diets. Our goal is not board as many dogs as possible to maximize revenue. Instead, we focus on quality and specialized individual care for each client. We had a very difficult time finding a good boarding environment for our dogs, especially as they entered their senior years. Thus, we have sought to address this issue given our extensive experience and skill set. Instead of volume, we prefer to have a small group of repeat clients. That allows us to ensure the best possible experience, and really build a relationship with the dog/owner. We are interested in long-term relationships. We are also experienced dog trainers.
