I have tons of experience with dogs. I have trained every dog ive ever had. Right now I just have one who is a certified service dog. I've been around all types of dogs and babysat many sizes and breeds from x-small to x-large from baby puppies and Chihuahua to Pitbull. I have trained two other retrievers in the past who unfortunately past away from old age. I am a huge dog lover, I love to kiss, hug, pet, and love on dogs. I am good at nail clipping, dog bathing (I am able to provide dog shampoo), and have a large walk in shower at my home that i can bath any size dog in. I have a water purifier for my dog and will only give any dog I watch purified water as well to prevent kidney stones. For wild or extra hyper dogs, i do require a kennel for calm time. If the dog is already calm normally, I let them roam freely in our large home. I block the stairs off with a baby gate. We have a large doggy door that our 85 lb dog can fit through, and is low to the ground so any size dog can walk through without any hassle. We do have one room downstairs that is carpeted and the rest is tile. I would recommend dropping off a dog bed with your dog. all I have to offer is blankets. We dont have much furnature for them to lay on. If they are a small dog, we have two comfy recliners that they might be interested in. If the dog is large I can make them a bed of blankets on the floor in the carpeted room. The backyard has small rocks and trees. We have a lached metal gate and another gate before that gate to double block the gate if needed. I prefer dogs who are spayed and neutered. My service dog is neutered. If you dog is a female and not spayed, I am ok with it. If you have a non-neutered male, I only accept them if they are small dogs. I will not accept LARGE non-neutered male dogs unless they remain in a crate and are isolated from my dog, and walked solo.
