I have my own style of raising my own dog, Clark, who is almost 3. While I am more lenient with the little guy and allow him on my couch and bed, what previous pet owners love about me is I play by their rules! If you don't want them doing certain things, or being in certain places I am comfortable with being stern with them. I am an active individual so your dog will be getting the exercise they need when they are with me! I work in healthcare, for humans, but it has given me a lot of insight about mammals in general and I know what things to look out for in your canine friend. I am social, and my dog is too, so I spend a lot of time in parks where I am more than happy to take your friend!
