We sent our five year old American Eskimo for a week of Mark's training. Before Dognnpooch our dog barked out of control at every sound outside our door. He barked for a full minute whenever we'd have visitors. He would go ballistic on our neighbor and even nipped her once. While on leash he would unpredictably lunge aggressively at other dogs. Sometimes he would listen when we called him inside, but only when it felt convenient to him. After just one week with Mark he barely barks when even the UPS guy delivers packages. He quiets immediately when we tell him to. All I have to say is "leave it" and whatever he was paying attention to he now ignores. He doesn't react to other dogs while on leash. When off leash he stays right with me (even when he REALLY wants to chase a cat). Now I can take him everywhere that I had hesitated to before. Crowded beaches, busy tight streets, places where dogs are off leash: no problem! Our dog is now a source of joy rather than a source of stress and anxiety. We are two months post training and our dog only seems to improve. So grateful for Mark! He gave us the dog we always wanted. Just wish we hired him four years earlier! read more

My Whippet/Pit mix is a sweet and responsive girl. With her desire to please me, we did great together with positive reinforcement training, however everything literally went out the door as soon as she knew she was going outside. Her prey drive is off the charts and was unmanageable on walks - to the point of being dangerous for both her and me. I contacted Mark to work with us to manage her prey drive, even with my initial reluctance to use an e-collar. We discussed his methods at length and he let me experience the e-collar for myself. After a week of working with Mark, I now have new capabilities to walk and go on adventures with my dog safety - and we can enjoy ourselves. Now that Mark has worked with her, the rest is up to me to maintain what she has learned. This ended up being a successful way to go, given her challenges. And I'm grateful. One thing that impressed me right away about Mark is that he took the first day with my dog to orient her to her new environment and spent time bonding with her. Each day of her training, he sent videos of where he took her, what training he was engaged in with her and how she was doing - multiple times a day, keeping me informed. Any questions I had, he responded to immediately. Finally, I was given training on the techniques and tools so I am able to maintain and continue her training. She has responded very well to Mark and his training process! In fact, I think she fell in love with him :-) I have no hesitations to continue working with Mark if any further support is needed. read more

I am very happy that I found Mark to train my dog, Peanut. My dog is one of those pups that was born and raised during the pandemic and had developed behavioral issues due to lack of socialization. Mark listened to all my concerns and kept me posted on peanut's progress throughout the week by sending multiple videos of his training. Peanut showed signs of improvement day after day. By the time we picked him up after a week, he was like a brand new dog. No more pulling on walks. And the excessive barking towards other people and dogs was gone. Peanut was a lot calmer and more obedient. Mark also showed us during the handoff on how to use the e-collar and bark collar properly and how to have peanut listen to commands. He also followed up on Peanut after few days which I really appreciate. That shows a lot on how much he genuinely cares about your dogs. Money well spent! Thank you, Mark! read more

So #2 son finds a stray mutt in DTLA (Fig & 34th, hence the name Felix) and in spite of all my protests, brings him home... and it's love. I've had a few dogs and never used a trainer but life is full, and if I'm keeping this dog it's gotta be easy. I had met Mark through a dear friend, an animal rights advocate, who if she trusts him with her dogs then I trust him with mine. I'm so glad I did. Mark relates to our canine companions (maybe better than people) and the hounds know it and appreciate his deep understanding. Animal lovers: do not be afraid of the e-collar! You'll hold it in your hand and wonder what all the fuss is about. It's a small but crucial part of his technique and like all tools there is good use and abuse. His I found totally appropriate. Mark innately knows each dog's personality and tunes in to their strengths, speaking to them clearly and gently. I could not believe the transformation that was happening before my eyes over the several videos he sent each day of Felix responding to commands and walking attentively next to Mark, actually heeling! Not a robo-dog, but in his face I could see he was being the dog he was always wanting to be. You love your dog, I promise you will love him EVEN MORE after his week with Mark. A dog who sits on command? Goes to his bed when told to? Hikes placidly off leash??? Worth every single penny. My only heads up: the rest is up to you. Ask lots of questions. Listen to Mark. Follow through and you'll have the dog of your dreams. read more

I am a first time dog owner, and ambitiously adopted two Maltese poodle pups! After a few weeks, I realized I was in way over my head and was in desperate need of some help! Mark came to the rescue! He worked around my travel schedule, and provided pick-up/drop-off! In less than a week, the pups were potty trained (at 3 months old!), crate trained, and walking off-leash! They are now two years old, and still very well behaved. The peace of mind of knowing that I can control any situation with the pups is priceless. No worries about them darting into traffic, or wreaking havoc at the dog park. People often compliment on how sweet and obedient my pups are, and I owe it all to Dog n Pooch!! Well worth it. Highly recommended! read more

I used Mark for a week in Dec. Our 1 1/2 year old Golden Retriever was extremely wild especially during the hours of 5PM until 10PM. She jumped on everyone and jumped on the furniture. Mark trained her with the remote collar and Lily responded brilliantly. He made a huge difference in our life. Although I'm not as consistent with it as I should be, she is much more of a polite dog. When I get out her ecollar & remote, she goes right to her bed. I highly recommend using Mark. He's very communicative while training your dog. He's reliable and trust worthy. read more

So this is our pup, Rocco. We adopted him in late May & his manners were basically nonexistent. We weren't able to pick up the leash without him jumping, let alone walk him. He would jump on people while greeting, no leash training, wouldn't go in the car or crate. Rocco definitely needed help & that's what we found him. He stayed with Mark for a week & he's literally a NEW dog. Rocco doesn't jump, he made new friends, gets in the car & crate while also working on knowing place/sit.. But the best part?! WE CAN NOW WALK OUR DOG!!! He went from choking himself from trying to dart off to now walking without a leash all while staying right by your side! Mark keeps you up to date with different videos of what he's working on & has no issues keeping in contact if you have questions. If you have a dog who needs help with training, look no further!! read more

Mark is not only an excellent trainer, but someone with a true love for the dogs he works with. My 4 month old Aussie stayed with him for two sessions, and she has grown into the perfect companion. She had some issues because of lack of socialization, and fear of people, and Mark and his wife both went above and beyond to help her past her anxieties. Getting daily videos of the process was just amazing, and made me feel so good about her training, as it was clear that she was truly enjoying every minute. While the training may seem expensive, if your dog is going to be your lifelong companion, it is the best investment you can make. A well behaved, responsive and secure pet is worth more than words can say. Dognpooch really can make that happen, even for dogs with issues. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for and excellent, experienced and caring trainer who really delivers fabulous results. Your pet will thank you! read more

Let me preface by saying we are thrilled with Marks training of our boy Morty! After looking into a sever different local trainers, we found Mark and decided to put our dog into a 1 week board and train with Dog n Pooch. This was the best decision! Morty is a husky/cattle dog mix, so naturally he has boundless energy at most hours of the day. Since we rescued him about 3 months ago, he has relentlessly pulled on the leash and barked/pawed at us for attention. Being a husky, we've never trusted him off leash due to their natural inclination to run off, which he had done twice before. We tried everything we could to fix his behavior but had minimal to no success. Within the first day of Mortys training, Mark had him walking nicely on the leash and learning "place" in the house (this was super important to us as Morty would jump all over us on the couch). Mark sends multiple videos a day of the training process so that you can learn along with your pup, as well as put your mind at ease if you're worried about the board and train concept. Since we picked Morty up yesterday, we've gone on the best walks we've ever had (no pulling at all). He instantly understood where his "place" is in the house, and stays there until we tell him to come. In general, he is completely off-leash trained, calmer, doesn't bark, walks nice and stays in his place. We also feel comfortable taking him to the dog park and on all of our adventures now! We are super thankful for Mark and his training! Our goal was to find a way to communicate with Morty and let him live his best life, and we achieved that! I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking help for their dog. Worth every penny. read more

After explaining our difficult situation with our aggressive Great Dane Mark pressured us about taking our dog RIGHT NOW Even though we are out of town and not even home. We called for general information not to get pressured into letting him take our dog when we aren't even home. When we told him we wanted to wait he yelled at us over the phone. This is the first review I have ever wrote and I just hope it helps someone not be put in the Same uncomfortable situation we were in. Having an aggressive dog is stressful enough without having a "trainer" like mark make you feel even worse. I will never ever recommend this company. read more

Mark did an amazing job with our dog! We have a one year old Australian Shepherd who has never ending energy, was easily distracted and over all just a LOT to handle. He would bark at us to demand attention even after playing for hours. He was gone for just a week and we now have an angel boy! We have people over and he stays in his place the whole time unless instructed otherwise. We can walk him off leash. Best of all it's not an hour of trying to catch him when leaving the dog park! It will take some time of him getting used to commands from us and to be perfect off the e collar, but I am thrilled Mark kept us updated with multiple videos, every day, throughout the week so we saw how quickly he was progressing. If you have any doubts of wether you should do it or not, doubt no longer. It's a small price to pay to have a calm, good dog read more

My rottweiler/German shepherd went to dognpooch with an aggressive fear of strangers and some very very bad habits when it came to walking and coming when being called. His training gave her confidence and I'm no longer terrified she will bite any stranger that tries to interact with her. I walk her without a leash, tell her to lay down and I can jog away and she wont get up until called. People cant believe it and others with dogs comment wishing their dog was as well behaved as mine. Dognpooch has made such a difference in our lives and I'm so happy with the results and the way he made my dog confident and obedient. Shes better than I could have expected!! I highly recommend dognpooch Thank you so much mark!!! read more

Mark is a game changer!! We brought our crazy little french bulldog, who had mind of his own and would run out our front door, given the opportunity! Not safe! After having him for a week, he is so much more well mannered and hasn't ran out the front door once! Thanks to Mark our pooch is safe and a pleasure to be with! read more

Before: 2 chocolate labs that would jump on you upon greeting, race through the house like a wild hurricane, lick every surface on a food hunt (they're labs = always hungry), and would literally take off running down the street never to be seen again if we let them loose out the front door. Keep in mind they didn't give a rats ass if we called their names a hundred times. We have had them lost in town on a number of occasions because they slipped away from us and couldn't find them until someone called our number after having their chip scanned. (they rip collars off each other). I had to frustratingly insist on training or I would move out. After: Here comes Captain Mark. Dogs understand and listen. They sit down and stay for long periods of time. They can now run around the entire front yard (which is large) and the entire back yard (which is an unfenced entire freedom mountain with deer) without concern of them running away. They come when called and they truly seem MUCH happier than they did before. One of them truly stays right at my leg even when I'm walking around watering the outdoor plants. It's kinda funny. Here's one I don't care to admit, but I will: I left the house for about four hours of errands. I came back to see movement at my front door, and realized I had left the dog gate open. There they were, sitting at the front door watching the world go by. I was so angry with myself for leaving the gate open but SO PROUD of the dogs and SO grateful to Mark for yes, changing our lives. Too bad Mark can't train teenagers. Ugh. read more

Here's a shout out to our dog trainer Mark Lipes for the amazing job he has done with our wild boys. While we were enjoying Paradise our boys got to go to Doggy Bootcamp and learn how to listen and be good dogs. We got to take them for a hassle free walk last night and I couldn't believe the ease. They are different dogs. I highly recommend Mark to help you with your pups! I have to add more about how amazing Mark is. Our Bailey was a rescue that was a street dog for four years. He came with a host of problems from food aggression issues, to escape issues, to inability to walk in any sort of civil way. He failed twice with another trainer who told me I should have a "coming to Jesus conversation with my family on bringing Bailey back or getting rid of him". In her words, "Bailey was much too much dog for me." I am not one of give up in a difficult situation. Thank goodness a friend told me about Mark. He got both my boys, Murphy and Bailey to become two very obedient dogs. Thank you Mark. We appreciate you so much! read more

Mark is awesome at what he does! My son brought a English bull terrier puppy into our household of already 3 other dogs, as he grew he was getting very stubborn & very aggressive towards one of the other males, & he was also impossible to walk. We were all stressed out & at our wits end of what to do about his craziness & when it would appear. He went to Mark at about 5 1/2 months old for a week of training. We got a new dog back! Mark helped out w/ the transition back home & kept in contact w/ us. All dogs can hangout & walk together now. My son can walk him wherever leash less & I started walking him at times as well w/ no issues. Such a life changer & it's so nice to have peace in our home once again thanks to Mark! read more

When I heard about Mark, I had spent hours each day working with my puppy to get him trained as best as I could. No matter how much time I spent with him, he always chose other dogs over me when we were at the park or beach. I would make the excuse that he was a puppy and was easily distracted. After spending 1 week with Mark, our dog, Oso, blew us away. He went from being a well trained dog to the BEST trained dog. Oso comes every time we call him, he heals perfectly, and the place command is a game changer when friends or family come over and they don't want a dog near them. My expectations were blown away which has caused me to refer a lot of people to him. All of those people will share the exact same story that I have. I continue to use Mark when my wife and I leave town for a few days and if I had to do it all over again I would do it! Get your dog to Mark NOW! You won't regret it. read more

Mark was amazing with our very hyper (and now reformed) golden retriever Rusty. I was kept up to date on everyday progress with videos. I know people look at the price of training and get nervous about it but I am telling you it is worth every penny. We were pushed to do it because we bought a new house and didn't want it destroyed and I can honestly say I wish I can afford to do ALL my dogs. Rusty is a changed dog and is no longer the nuisance he was. Mark brought out the good and the potential in rusty and I can not recommend him more. Also the best part is that Mark TEACHES you how to continue the training to make your dog the best dog he can be! Mark is also great at follow up making sure that once your dog is home that things are going well and is always available for questions!!! read more

We adopted a 5 month lab mix and by the end of the first month we knew we had two options, find a new home for her or find a great trainer. Fortunately we found Mark and the results were amazing. Even though he reassured us that she would be a different dog we were somewhat skeptical. But Mark was absolutely right. We now have a well behaved dog that listens to all the basic commands and is wonderful to take on walks. It truly was a great investment!! read more

I had high hopes to train my dog on my own but it wasn't long before I realized it would be a huge battle and dangerous for me to do so on my own due to our situation. We are on a large property with many chickens and goats. We got our pup to train as a Livestock Guardian dog to the chickens and goats. It didn't take long for her to want to chase and play with the chickens and one wrong move would mean a dead chicken and difficulty for all if that were ever to happen. A friend suggested that we get her professionally trained. It was a leap of faith because our dog is a puppy and highly energetic, seemingly unable to stop herself even from jumping up on us and play biting. We contacted Mark and signed her up for a week of boarding and training. Was I nervous about it? YES. But it turned out to be the best decision EVER. In a week, she was trained to sit, stay, come, heel -- all off leash. During the week of training I received multiple video updates and commentary daily on how she was doing. The true test was getting her to walk through our flock of chickens without chasing one. She performed perfectly. We just got a huge jumpstart on a working relationship with our new family member with the ability to continue to train her as we need. Thank you, Mark!! read more

We took our 4 month old Great Pyrenees (known for being a very stubborn breed) to Mark, He did a great job with Bloo! He is extremely well behaved at home and out and about. we walk him off leash with us everywhere now! We went from having puppy gates, puppy pads, and teething marks everywhere, to an open house with his bed and access to outside! We no longer have to be watching his every move or worried when we go out. Bloo was a great dog before, but he is just outstanding now!! Thank you so much Mark! We can't wait to see what new things he can learn. read more

Mark worked miracles with our two crazy dogs! One is 6 years old and one is 7 years old so we weren't sure training would work, but we were desperate for them to have basic obedience when we had our daughter. Turns out you can teach old dogs new tricks! Our pups spent a week with Mark and came back able to come, go to place (and stay there!), and walk both on and off leash - which in and of itself is MIRACULOUS. One of them was super barky too (like, constant) but getting this training helped that x1000. I don't feel like I'm about to lose my mind with the dogs all the time anymore. All of us (them included) are finally able to relax and enjoy each other. We're also able to take them out for more outings and daily walks since their behavior has improved, so I strongly feel their quality of life has greatly improved from this training. During the training, Mark communicated with us frequently and sent videos so we could see how they were doing. He was great about answering questions quickly and is such a nice guy. Send your dog to Mark - you won't regret it! read more

Mark and his wife are loving, amazing, patient dog trainers. I sent my Great Dane, Stella for a 2 week Boarding/training session. She has a strong foundation in E Collar techniques. I'm so happy and excited to see where this training will take us. THANK YOU DOGNPOOCH read more

Mark was a game-changer for our dog and our lives. Rudy is a blue heller and a handful: stubborn, a bit skittish, a little aggressive...but super cute! We couldn't walk him; couldn't keep him off furniture; couldn't keep him in one place; couldn't keep him from nipping. Exhausting on all of us. A week with Mark and a half-day of co-training to go over everything, and Rudy is...almost a dream :) He walks off-leash(!!!) with adults and the kids, and we don't worry about anything. He knows "bed" when instructed, and also to stay there. He stays out of the kitchen when we cook, and he stays on his bed while we eat. No begging! He knows to sit when we stop during a walk, and knows to leave it when other dogs or people walk by. He's still got a puppy-twinkle in his eye, but the anxiety and skittishness is gone, and he seems so much happier, too. We're just wildly thankful we found Mark, and he was able to help. Absolute game changer for all of us, and especially for Rudy. read more

Mark was able to train our 6 month old Bloodhound in ONE week. Hounds are known for being stubborn and only following their nose....well, he THRIVED during training and continues to do so. He goes for hikes in the hills and at the ranch off-leash and sits/stays where told. Daily videos and tutorials prepped our family for his return home. It's as if we have a whole new pup! Mark really does work miracles! read more

Mark worked his magic with our goldendoodle Abby. She used to jump on people and run up to strangers. She would jump out of our backyard. All of that changed after she went with for a week. She is now a perfect family dog and so much more calm. We can't saw enough good things about his training. He sent lots of videos and let us know how she was doing every step of the way. read more

Mark not only loves the dogs, he is an honorable man who is very honest with his customers. He has showed me that he truly loves his job, not all about the payments. Thank you so much Mark for all of your help! I will definitely be back when we get another dog one day. read more

Even with 4 kids (with 3 in college) our dogs, Buddy (Bichon) and Kona (Boxer) are our babies! Prior to Mark's training, Buddy would always pull on walks while Kona would be tough to control on walks when she sees other dogs and both would not listen to "word" commands at home. Not any more! After Mark's training, Buddy and Kona are perfect on walks! And at home, they actually listen now! Thank you, Mark for your training as our family will be forever grateful! read more

Koa, my shepherd mix puppy was a train wreck. From jumping up on us to stealing everything and being wild, she needed help. Mark transformed her behavior. I have never had a dog who is off-leash trained. She is reliable, stays close and listens to commands over a year later. I recommend Mark to everyone!! read more

We've had LuLu for nearly a year now. We rescued her to be a playmate for a Dog named Puka that we've had for about 16 months now. When we first adopted her, she was perfect on walks and going places, but one day we got attacked on a walk by a Pitbull that belonged to homeless man. After that, every time a strange dog was approaching or dogs barking in front yards and backyards as we passed by, would set LuLu off as she would go into a very defensive mode. As Mark called it, she turned into a Tasmanian Devil. Pulled me down on the ground several times, as she is very very strong. We tried the Petco training courses (knew all of the commands ect.), we tried a Dog Behaviorist ($1000.00) and there was little or no change. I was already looking at E-Collars and was giving consideration regarding that, as I thought she would never settle down and be the Pup I needed her to be. Then a friend sent me a "Mark Video" of his 2 pups that were being trained by Mark and saw the results. So, gave Mark a call and discussed our LuLu's issues. He thought he could help us with that. So took her to Mark for a weeks worth of training. Daily, Mark would send us four or five videos of LuLu's progress, which I found helpful and one could see that there was improvement each time. Not to mention that LuLu loved Mark...she seemed to be very happy and responded to him well. So, picked our LuLu up this passed Monday. She and I were so glad to see one another. After she calmed down a bit, Mark took LuLu and I out for some training...no, he didn't make me wear the E Collar...LOL! I trained with Mark about 90 minutes or so so he could make sure I knew what to do, when to do it, and how much to do it. Well we've been home now for 3 days. LuLu and I walk four times a day, to keep reinforcing the training Mark had given. She is now a such a pleasure to walk and take around with me. Do I ever have to correct her? Of course, but by walking her multiple times a day and correcting her when warranted, which is not too often, our walks are no a real pleasure to do. Mark saved us from being a prisoner with LuLu. I really love our Pup and was starting to become frustrated. Mark is a great trainer and one can tell he loves the Dogs and the Dogs Love Mark and respond well to him. I recommend ALL that need help with a problem Pup to call Mark. He is truly a "Dog Whisperer" and worth every cent. Call Mark he can help you out with your Pup too. Thank yo so very much!!! One last bit of advice, Key to this is doing your own due diligence by walking your Pup multiple times a day, so as to reinforce all. If you do, the changes are Life Changing for you and our dog. I ca't say it enough...Thank you so much Mark for helping our LuLu find her way. read more

One of the best decisions we made for our dog! We had a 1 year old pit bull who was very high strung and overly energetic. I was pregnant with our first child so i wanted to teach the dog some manners before the baby arrived. We purchased the sessions where mark comes to your house. the first day we learned how to "heal" while walking, and zoey did great! After that we learned how to effectively use the E-collar to teach our dog to "place" and "leave it" and "come" i was very surprised with how responsive zoey was. Dogs want to learn! I recommend Mark to everyone I know and I continue to hear how he changes lives!! We now have a 10 month old baby who loves playing with the dog and we joke that his first word will be "PLACE" read more

Mark was absolutely amazing with our german shepherd bro!!!!!! Bro was so unruly and not listening before we met mark...my kids were afraid of him because he jumped so much. Now he is a completely different dog! We love him sooooo much more! He hangs out everywhere we are, goes on trips and cuddles with my 6 month old baby for fun! Mark is a miracle worker!!!! read more

My dog, Cody stayed with Mark for a week for training. I'm honestly still blown away by Cody's amazing transformation. We adopted Cody last summer and right away I took him to basic obedience class and he did OK but he needed more, something different. Before he trained with Mark, sometimes he'd listen but not most of the time. He was pretty hyper on walks to the point that I hated walking him by myself. He had major cat issues and had an incident with another dog. He was just very stubborn and thought he was in charge. Mark changed all of that!! In fact, the week that Cody spent with him changed his total mind set. He is a totally different dog now, the dog I've always wanted. This dog now knows his place and that he is not in charge anymore, LOL. Mark sent me many videos throughout the week of how he was training Cody and what was going on which was super helpful to me and my family. I re-watched those videos over and over so that I know what I need to do for my dog. Mark also met with us a couple days before we picked Cody up and went over everything...what to do, what not to do etc.. Also, he gave us some insight on Cody's personality and how to handle situations that may arise. I even send Mark videos of what I'm doing with Cody and he gets back to me right away with his feedback. He really does care about my dog's success. Cody gets walked 2-3 times a day because everyone here just loves to walk him now, he goes with us to the lake, baseball field and other places. Cody is calm and relaxed and we are very happy. Thank you Mark. You truly changed our lives for the better. I highly recommend Mark. My only regret is waiting and not getting him trained like this sooner. It was worth EVERY penny!!! read more

Our Ellie May stayed with Mark for a week to correct anxiety and leash reactivity. It was getting to the point where we could not take her anywhere because she was so volatile. We have tried many trainers and numerous classes and read several books but no improvements were being made. Marc made great progress right off the bat and has taught us the basics as well. Part of the problem is the parents inability properly communicate with dog and in our case I did not appear strong enough to handle the situation so she (Ellie May) would take over. Marc sends you many videos daily so you see how your pup is doing and how he is training. He will also be there for advice if you are falling off the rails. Very kind man and he took excellent care of our little princess. He also bathed her before we picked her up which is a big job when you are talking a Standard Poodle. I highly recommend his dog training program. read more

I was ready to get rid of my great dane, Summer, because she was impossible to walk. She would become aggressive toward other dogs when on a leash. She scared other dog owners. After just 10 minutes with Mark, of Dognpooch Pet Training, Summer is a new dog. We can walk her past other dogs now and she barely notices they are there. This has changed the entire family, no more stress! Thanks Mark! read more

We are so grateful to Mark. He really helped us understand what our dog needed and gave us a way to communicate with him. We were so lost with how to train our dog before Mark came along. We got terrible advice. Our dog had so many fears. Mark gave us a way to build our dog's confidence. He is now a happier and healthier member of our family. We couldn't have done it without Mark. The next dog we get will go straight to Mark for training. I would recommended Mark to anyone, whether your dog has major issues or just needs to learn to walk better. read more

i would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a dog trainer. it changed my dogs life and mine. it was worth every penny. i had my reservations at first, justifying spending money, sending my dog to a stranger for a week, etc. but i put my trust in him and i've been eternally grateful ever since. my dog lives a calm, happy, obedient life now where he can walk beside me on busy streets, play at the beach, hike, hang out in the house, be around cats, etc! read more
