As far as my experience: In addition to our own dog my family has been fostering dogs since I was young. I worked a seasonal position at a dog daycare and boarding facility a few years ago. While that environment was a bit too chaotic for me, I found that I am comfortable, confident, and enthusiastic working with all types of dogs. Any breed, any size. When I adopted my own dog as an adult I became incredibly interested in dog training. I enjoy the challenge of finding their currency and learning style. Are they motivated by food, attention, praise, play? I find it helpful to learn as much as possible about your dog's particular breed(s), using their natural tendencies as a part of the training/reward process and to channel/ drain the dog's energy in an appropriate manner. For example, doing nose work with scent hounds. Or burying a terrier's toy in a sandbox allowing them to dig it out. Most importantly, I respect a dog's individuality as it relates to boundaries, limits, and thresholds. My availability is flexible.
