I’ve taken care of plenty of different breeds and ages of dogs since I was around 10 but consider my full care of them being 7 years because as I got older I grasped the true nature of dog care. My parents have owned their own business for 25 years so our dogs were a big priority to me. I’ve walked dogs for plenty of people I know and taken care of their dogs while they were out of town. I currently have had my Akita for 4 years and he has been a difficult first dog for around the first year and a 1/2. But with time, patience, training, and LOTS of love he’s become a great boy. I know everything from bathing, trimming nails, brushing, teeth brushing, walking, exercise, etc.
