Two years ago I raised five large breed dogs, each from a puppy and maintained a regular program of: daily walking, running, playtime with a balanced eating schedule. I am experienced with picking up poop and petting any dog wanting attention. Capable of training commands for sit, stay, and lay down. Comfortable with handling multiple dogs at once in case of families with many furry members. I frequently visit dog parks and enjoy the company of our fellow K-9 companions. The bond between a human and dog is important to me and maintaining a good connection with dogs comes naturally. Currently I am reading "The other end of the leash" a book written by a behavioral scientist in order to better understand the dogs perspective of being with humans.
