I have worked around animals for most of my life dogs included I am currently studying at MCC to be a Vet tech. I have worked at Rualking and E&L pets combined I have worked around animals for about 3 years on paper but off paper I have worked around animals for about 12 years now whether it be horses or snakes or dogs and cats I am comfortable with any shape and size I currently own 3 dogs a cat 24 chickens and 14 rabbits on my property I have a large lake and plenty of running room and since I have dogs already I am always stocked with treats and toys for them to play with. So whether your dog likes love or playtime I can do both.
