I think dogs are man's best friend. I have had a lot of exposure in caring for puppies and older pups. I have an 8 year old, male shihtzu-poodle mix who I have raised since he was a four-week old puppy. I love training and showering dogs with love, kisses, hugs, and belly rubs. I will spend genuine time with them because I truly enjoy their company! I am detail oriented and will follow any instructions you may have if your dog is on a strict regimen. I love taking dogs walking outdoors, especially to Boston Commons. I clean dog paws and private areas after every walk with doggy wipes.
