I’m a medical worker taking some time off. I’ve owned dogs, cats, birds and gerbils. I’m CPR certified, 40 years old and responsible. I live in the Rogers/Corcoran/Hanover/Maple Grove area. My first dog was a Golden Retriever mix I flew down to Kentucky to pick up at 8 weeks old. All the flight attendants wanted to pet him. I bought 6 puppy training books and read them cover to cover. I taught him how to sit, fetch, roll over, down, speak, jump up, shake and find hidden things. I took him to training classes and dog parks across the twin cities. He is no longer with me but I am no stranger to handling dogs. I am also about 200 lbs and in shape so larger dogs should not be a problem.
