Although I do not have a large fenced in yard I live very close to the dog park! I have had small and big dogs throughout my life. Currently I have a Husky, a breed that is notoriously stubborn and requires a lot of patience! I wouldn't trade him for the world! I frequently have my friend's Husky over for play dates and are habitual dog park visitors! Throughout college I dog sat for a number of professors and had four dogs at once multiple times. I believe dogs give so much love unconditionally and they deserve to be treated with so much kindness and respect. I am that stranger who will stop you so I can pet your dog and I also love working on training with dogs!
