For as long as I can remember I have had my own dogs and helped others take care of theirs. Constantly being around dogs has taught me exactly how to compose myself around them so that I can take care of them to the best of my ability and so that we can stay on friendly terms. I have a lot of experience dog sitting because when I was in high school my friends and neighbors would have me dog sit for them when they went out of town. These dog sitting experiences taught me invaluable skills such as: How to properly put a harness on a dog. Hiding necessary pills in the dog's food. The correct way to approach a dog. Calming down a dog that is agitated/scared. Cleaning up dog "messes". Being in control on a walk, yet still letting the dog have fun and enjoy all the smells.
