I am a recent graduate student from the University of Texas at Arlington. I received my first pet on my first birthday and I have loved animals since. I have had parakeets and dogs most of my life. I currently have one senior Pomeranian (16yrs) and recently acquired a German Shepherd/Maremmano puppy. I also once had a chow chow mix and Labrador husky that lived their full lives. I have taken care of all my dogs since they were puppies and did most of their training and grooming myself. I have plenty of patience for most pets. I have experience also in pet sitting and training puppies for my friends and other acquaintances who adopted new puppies and adult dogs. My training methods and knowledge mostly come from watching professionals, plenty of research and books. I am comfortable with all dogs no matter the size.
