  Beverly M. asked:

  I have been bringing one of the dogs from the SPCA home at least once a week, and I would love to adopt her, but she is reactive to other dogs. I don't own a dog, but I want my daughter's dog to be able to visit whenever possible. I am trying to come up with a plan so I want to know if anyone can recommend a good place to board Maya when Franklin comes to visit. Also, does anyone know a good dog sitter/walker for those times when we want to go away? I'd love for someone to stay in our home when we travel...which is really seldom and usually only for a long weekend. Any recommendations?

  Tmagna is dog reactive, but she is fine with other dogs if she knows them. I don't know Maya, or what her story is, but if there is a way to slowly introduce them they might be able to hang out with each other. Perhaps start with having her sniff toys that belong to him, well before he ever comes to visit. I also worked with a great trainer in Red Bank, Roseanne Barrs of Big Tail Waggin, who still answers questions for me when I have them. If you find yourself a good trainer they often have recommendations about kennels and dog walkers and may even have their own service. The experience of a trainer as a dog sitter/walker could be very beneficial with a dog reactive dog, especially if Maya is at all like Tmanga. Unfortunately kennel I know is in UT... I recently found a facebook page for DINOS (dogs in need of space) which might provide some helpful hints.
