I installed fencing in my large North Seattle yard
to create the perfect environment for play groups (there's a photo of
me with a play group in my own private dog park on my home
page). I'll pick up your dog from home and bring her to my yard to
play together with a small group of dogs. The dogs play fetch, chase,
sniff all over, and always have a ton of fun. I have noticed that many
dogs seem more relaxed at play group than at the dog park. If you have
a dog that is dog friendly but would do better in a smaller, safer environment,
then the play group would be the perfect fit. Your pooch will be delivered
back home happy and tired.

Brand new puppies need a lot of care and attention the first few weeks, and most doggie daycares do not accept puppies under 16 weeks of age. The initial period, when a puppy gets housebroken and acclimated to a new home and new "parents" will determine in large part what kind of dog your pup grows up to be. A puppy that's left alone all day is likely to become fretful and insecure, which can result in destructive behavior, and aggressiveness or withdrawn behavior later in life. Housebreaking also takes much longer if no one is there during the day. So how can you get a new puppy and still go to work?
I offer a way to do that without using your sick leave or vacation time or abandoning your business: let me care for your new family member. I grew up in a family that raised puppies and I have raised many puppies. I can be there during that critical initial period, to provide love, attention, and house training.
I take on one puppy at a time. Your puppy will spend the day with me. I will pick up your puppy in the morning and deliver him back in the late afternoon. The puppy will be with me while I do my play groups, be in my home and get used to car rides. I will work on house training, feed him lunch and reinforce crate training.
This is one-on-one care and constant supervision. Taking
care of a puppy is tough duty but somebody has to do it ;). In other words,
I love puppies and can't think of a better way to spend my time than caring
for yours!
