I am willing to work with dogs on obedience and other training. I'm an active dog watcher. I am also aware of how to keep pets safe. My skills with dogs comes from personal dog ownership and participating in a training course for that dog (Bone's is his name). I raised bones for 4 years and then when I went to college I couldn't bring him. Running with and playing with the dog is a pleasure. I trained my dog to do the basics: potty training, quieting excessive barking, to not eat dropped food items, sit, shake, roll over, sitting before entering and exiting a building, and loose leash walking (at times, I'd drop the leash and Bone's would still walk with me to test his obedience).
