I was raised with dogs my whole life and have extreme patience for all dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperament. I have experience with special needs and rescue dogs as well. My own dog was rescued from a shelter last year, and it has taken a lot of patience to get her to be confident again. I am extremely patient with dogs that have anxiety issues. I have volunteered at shelters my whole life and know how important it is to have a trusting person around your dogs. I treat my dogs like my children and love all dogs, regardless of breed or size. I also have experience training my own dogs to walk on a leash, run with me or simple household behaviors that will improve their obedience if interested. I am willing to help in whatever way I am needed!
