I have cared for my dog my entire life and through this I have learned how to handle a dog in almost every situation. This also taught me how to care for, tame, and train a dog based on its age and personality. Having a young dog, forced me to take precautions to ensure the safety of an immature animal in a urban and rural setting. With an abundance of walking trails and nature preserves near my childhood home, I had taken my dog on numerous walks and outdoor activities. In addition to experience caring for dogs, I have a great deal of patience which I've developed from years of academic tutoring in college and high school. Due to the combination of experience and patience, I believe I would be an effective and capable dog-watcher.
