I have owned dogs since I was a small child! I also have worked with horses and other farm animals since I was young. I never met a dog I couldn't read. I have worked with giant mastiffs to little tiny Chihuahuas. I love them all and their all unique. I am strong and also very strict with dogs who are a bit stubborn. But, that doesn't mean I'm not fun. When I'm with your dog and/or cat. My time is about them, getting to know them and learning about them as I play, walk or just hang out with them. I have dog sat for years but enjoy walking dogs more, since your dog is at your best with that big smile on his face as you walk side by side.
