We are dedicated to the safety and comfort of your dog while staying with us. There are no cages or crates used, only "doggie safe" rooms. Your dog will be treated with gentle, tender loving care. You wouldn't want anything else would you? We use a calm assertive tone of voice and lots of praise and love. "Potty Breaks" will be given often. This will be done outside in the fenced in area. When anyone is in a new environment, the need arises more often.
