While I love all animals, I have spent my whole life around dogs. My family and friends are all dog lovers. I'm extremely active and enjoy hiking every weekend so long walks with a large dog (no discrimination against small dogs :)) would be no issue. I always walked our family dog, a labrodoodle named Boss, at least once a day for an hour or more. I'm really patient with animals and I feel comfortable with different temperaments, all dogs are different! I think dogs are sensitive and intelligent animals who require attention and love. I have spent time with so many dogs and realized that they need to be active to be well trained and happy. I'm here to help. Thanks for your consideration.
