I do not have any formal experience with dogs, but I have been caring/training my own dogs since I was 12 years old. I am very patient with dogs, over the past few years I have been training my own golden doodle, and the breed can be alot to handle sometimes. I typically wake up very early to walk the dog/feed them. I have a pretty random schedule throughout the week, although Tuesday through Thursday tends to be pretty busy with class. I do not have a yard at my apartment, but I am within close access to the Burlington waterfront/open spaces and. I live with four other roommates, all of whom have extensive experiences in caring for dogs, one of whom just trained a golden lab for duck hunting. None of my roommates dogs or my dog live in our apartment.
