Treating dogs like human toddlers!

Pet care experience

I'm 34 years old and work in a non profit (currentlyfrom home). I have a rescue dog who was 3.5 (approx) when we got him from SPCA Westchester NY, so about 9.5 years old now. He's a boxer mix (we even did doggy DNA test on him). He's a little high maintenance so I can't have dogs over to be safe, but I love dogs and caring for them and their needs. I've learned about different dog walking devices (mine does best with a gentle leader). I also am very careful with dogs around doors because mine is a curious guy RUNNER and would run away if he got near an open door and saw a bunny or squirrel. I always hold him by his harness while closing both screen and glass door so he can't escape! I also recently got a puppy from the same rescue!
