I have experience with rescue dogs and normally acquired dogs. Nothing stops me from running or walking with your dogs! I know all of the favorite itchy spots, and the dogs I've met love me for it. I don't currently have any dogs or cats of my own because my wife is allergic to them, but we would love to have dogs if a cure for dog allergies is ever invented. I love taking the dogs I've had to dog parks so they can run around without their leashes outside and interact socially with other dogs. If I do that with anyone else's dog, I'd prefer to know the dog before going to the park so I can know what to expect. I love dogs.
