Is
required if I don't already know your dog. You just drive down to the
Farm and we take your dog for a walk with the current guests and the
resident dogs. We walk FAST, in the beginning in a specific direction,
as a matter of routine for all of the dogs. Each dog that comes in,
takes the walk with us. It forms a solidarity and is comforting.
I'll also hand out treats to
the group as I do many times per day and I'm looking for a lack of aggression. I'll also be watching his/her reaction to the resident farm
animals.
Your dog will sleep in the "guest bedroom", upstairs, just down the hall from me. Some dogs prefer to sleep in the kitchen, and I'm set up for that, too. The guest bedroom has a futon, a couch and a couple of crates for those dogs that can't settle without one.
My goats and horse are confined in an area fenced to keep them
in and dogs out. Some dogs become obsessed with them, though, and end
up not having any fun and making everyone else nervous and miserable.
I know... sounds
impossible, but it's not and those dogs capable of it are VERY welcome,
here!
I brush out stickers and check for
foxtails, but the dogs play in the mud, roll in smelly things and
generally have a great time. Your dog will come home tired and in need
of a bath. In some cases, I can arrange to have your dog bathed the
day he goes home.Faux Paw Farm is located at 516 Dougherty Ave. Morgan Hill, CA 95037
