There are three humans and two medium-small dogs in our household. Our parenting style is laid-back, our pets are allowed on the furniture with us. We all absolutely adore dogs, and spoil ours rotten. There is almost always one of the humans in the house and available for cuddles or potty breaks at all times due to our varying schedules. We have a large, fenced yard for the dogs to run around in, but regularly take our dogs both out into the neighborhood and on longer walks in nature areas. I am very comfortable with handling more than one dog at once. I am a student at PSU. I commute via car, and attend school in the morning every day of the week from 9-noon. I head home after class to take care of our dogs and do homework. I have a significant amount of time to spend taking the dogs outside. I am trained in Applied Behavioral Analysis, and am familiar with dog training concepts. I am trained in [human] first aid and CPR and can take action in a time of crisis. I feel comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, but would like to know if a dog has any unique behaviors that could be problematic with a new handler. I can;t wait to meet all of your furry friends!
