I grew up in the country with five dogs and four cats. Over the years I have taken care of friends and relatives' dogs while they tended to their job responsibilities. Whether its dropping in to let the dog out at lunch or an afternoon walk/a little fun, a duty becomes owed to that pet. You get more fun from your fur companion when your fur companion had a fun day. I also offer off leash runs/walks out at Hiawatha on the trails I grew up on. If you're not quite comfortable with this yet I can work with your pet to get them to a day where this is possible. If not we can stick with the leash.
