I have worked with dogs and have had dogs of many shapes and breeds. I have taught dogs how to obey based on their personalities (body language) and use positive reinforcement (treats & calm words) to get them to do what I need or what the parents want for their dogs. I don't believe animals should be chained up or stuck in a kennel all day. I treat animals like they are my own. I have administered oral and topical medications, but don't have the experience yet in insulin injections. I have a couch potato greyhound who is my world and treat other breeds in the same loving way. Whatever makes your dog feel comfortable is important to me. Hope to love on your dog.
