I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have cared for dogs for quite some time now and have assisted in training them as well. I recently got my own dog from SPCA who I have trained to be a emotional support pet and will be taking her canine good citizen test very soon. She is only 8 months old. I am very athletic and take the dogs I take of on walks quite often (and sometimes runs!). My home is next to several parks that are great for dogs such as Buena Vista, Duboce and Golden Gate. I am very flexible in terms of scheduling. My communication with dogs is all about positive reinforcement. I do not believe in punishment but rather reward when something is done right.
