Do I need to be home for pick-up or drop-off?

No, the idea is for me to make your life easy, we can discuss whats best for you. I can safely keep a gate code or house key if needed.

What if my dogs recall is not the best?

All new dogs start with a lightweight longline. After some time and practice, they may graduate to being leash free. Some will always have a longline on if they have a strong nose or prey drive.
