I have a very flexible schedule as I am a student. I have owned a dog since I was 4 years old and worked at the Fredericton SPCA for 2 years caring for the dogs. The range of dogs I cared for at the SPCA ranged from tiny Chihuahua mixes to huge Bull Mastiff's/Newfie mixes. Taking dogs on walks/runs is my favourite thing to do with them and I have some experience with behavioural training. I took on a case at the shelter of a dog that was extremely hyper and didn't have many manners and by the time the dog got adopted he was able to listen to voice and hand commands and was very obedient. He was slightly aggressive with other dogs when he came to the shelter as well and when he got adopted he was adopted into a family with another dog. The two of them now cuddle with each other and he is a great dog. I have also worked with cats, also doing a little behaviour work and have two of my own! One of my girls was abused by precious owners and wouldn't let anybody touch her when I brought her home, but with a little love and patience she's now my snuggliest cat! I also have experience with reptiles and small animals. I have had hamsters and guinea pigs, and have worked with many rats, bunnies, and gerbils. I currently have a bearded dragon and two turtles.
