I have been around pets all my life. At the moment i haven't been able to get a chance to move into a household that accept pets. Dog sitting will make up for it. I have had companions of the following breeds; Chihuahuas, Pit-bulls, German Shepherds and Yorkie's. I personally like pit-bulls and Yorkie's. I have potty trained dogs. Also taught a pit-bull and Chihuahuas, commands such as stay, go eat, go potty, sit. Also taught a German Shepard to sniff out certain objects around the house. I learned over the years that talking to a dog is better than a butt spanking. Treats work well!
