Hi, we are Karen and Michael. We are in our 60s and have been together for 44 years. We currently live with 3 dogs. We have been owned by dogs our whole lives and we couldn’t imagine a home without the constant patter of paws.  When we were younger, we wanted to do more than just enjoy our furry friends. We have trained and competed in working dog competitions such as drafting, herding, weight pull and agility.  Working to motivate the dogs to do and enjoy their “jobs” was fun.  We have a lot of patience and always work with positive training methods using treats and praise. 

We have had epileptic dogs and geriatric ones as well.We have years of experience dealing with a variety of medical issues any time day or night.  We can administer medications and understand how timely they need to be. We also have experience with young high energy pups.

 If your pet stays with us but isn’t used to playing with others, then we have ways to separate your dogs from ours and there will be no interaction.  If your dog likes friends, then they will have buddies here to play with.
