I was born and raised around lots of dogs (and cats!). I currently have two akitas, and they are quite the handful. I can handle myself around large, or aggressive dogs, and believe in a healthy atmosphere of structure and wellness, guided by mutual respect. I'll run,walk or sit with your dog, whatever is best for their breed and personality! I have spent time working with Canine Companions for Independence and learned how to train dogs from them, and how to treat dogs lovingly and beneficially. I also completely understand and respect each person's own ideology when it comes to their pets. My main goal is to make sure your dog feels as comfortable as possible, and maintains the same routine they are used to.
