I was raised around animals. I am a dog lover that teaches them as well. I have training skills so if you need or want your dog trained let me know as well. I got our two dogs on schedule so if you go by a schedule also let me know so I know there eating habits and walking schedule. We treat pets like family and treat them the way we want to be treated. How ever if you have dog food I require you bring it along with your walking gear. I do recommend them be potty trained but if not that's ok but I do train so if you do not have the time to train them I understand maybe work something out to train.
