Natasha L. Hiden-Burns and Christopher Burns spend their days with all breeds of dogs, from all walks of life. As owners of Dog’s Best Friend Training and Walking Service L.L.C., they are passionate about and experts on all things canine. In addition to manning their clients’ dogs, they own three rescue dogs themselves. Tiggy (a chihuahua mix), Shelly (a pitbull), and Ollie (a Jack Russell terrier shorty) keep the Burns plenty busy, along with their cheeky toddler, Lochlan.
When asked about pet-friendly décor choices they’ve made to accommodate their pups, the Burns were more than happy to share what worked for them
Says Natasha: “We chose bamboo flooring because of its flexibility and durability. The rustic details help hide the imperfections caused from nail scratches, toy mishaps, and regular wear and tear. Most important, we chose a performance fabric for our sofas, Pottery Barn’s Performance EVERYDAYVELVET, a warp-knit velvet with a soft, plush pile. It fit the bill for a high-quality, child- and pet-friendly fabric that was durable enough to withstand us (humans and dogs) relaxing on the sofa after hiking with our dogs and clients’ dogs daily, as well as enduring toddler mischief, all without a great deal of maintenance!”
