Ive taken care of many dogs over the years and have always had a dog in the household growing up! The first dog that I’ve ever had was a dog named Maggie. Maggie was an elderly pit bull and she came from an unloving home prior to my family taking her on when I was about 5 years old. She was not as disciplined as you’d like an older dog to be, so she would have accidents all across the house and do naughty things like eat food off your plate when you weren’t looking! Understanding the life she was living before, we saw it as an honor that she was willing to get in trouble for a little fun lol. We had so much patience with her and gave her as much love as we could while she was still with us. I will always have a soft spot for pit bulls. Onto the more recent experience I’ve had, I am constantly working with dogs. I have a couple of clients that I house sit/walk for that deal with young puppies. Puppies have lots of energy and need to be treated as such. You need to have a lot of patience and understanding. When dealing with puppies you are pretty much dealing with a baby so it’s important to understand the fact they are not trained as well as a middle aged dog. Another field of dog experience I have is big energetic dogs. I walk a malamute named Luna three days a week and it definitely takes effort to control her. You can trust that I am competent enough to handle big, energetic and stubborn dogs! All the while providing your fur baby with love and care as if they were my own.
