• OUR FOCUS IS ON THE INDIVIDUAL DOG : we temperament test her/ him by introducing them to our own  dogs in our inital interview. We find out what they like / dislike and we watch their pack behavior when you bring them for a free playdate before their service starts - then we accept the dog .Owner Martina has studied Canine Psychology , Canine first aid and has 14 yers of experience handling dogs in a safe and compassionate way . 
• We are bonded and insured 
•  
• We are low-tech (no cameras, no artificial turf) and hands-on  spending 8 hours supervising dogs play inside and outside daily. Someone is on the premises full- time to always keep an eye/ear on them.Our dog to Person ratio is 4 to 1, the lowest in town,

We feel that if we would get a dollar for every time the dogs make us smile, we would all be millionaires:-)
