I've owned and cared for an energetic golden-doodle from since he was a puppy, during high school, and have dog sat some friends' dogs in college. I love to play with dogs but also know how to handle misbehaving pups. Being an owner of a rambunctious dog myself, I've learned how to be firm and direct with my words when saying "No!" so as to not confuse the dog that what he just did was wrong. However, I also know the importance of praise, especially for young puppies, thus I make sure to commend a dog on a good action. Finally, I enjoy being outdoors and going on walks, and any time I can be joined by a canine friend is a fun time in my book! I would love the opportunity to take care of your dog!
