I am an animal lover with 2 years experience of having a dog. My dog suffers from separation anxiety so I fully understand the need to have someone care for your dog when you can't. Dealing with this anxiety with my dog caused me to read several books on animal behaviour and consult with several dog trainers, giving me a good understanding of how best to take care of and train dogs. I take my dog to the park and out for a run every day. I also really like playing with him and teaching him new tricks - my husband and I recently taught him to clean up his toys when he's finished playing! My husband and I work from home in the mornings and leave for just 2-3 hours in the afternoons.
