EXPERIENCE: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, and frequently care for dogs of family/friends. I am very familiar with behavioral patterns, training techniques, and how to provide love & attention! AVAILABILITY: Weekends only (unless it is summer time). This is for your dog's sake, as I work full time during the week, and want to give them the attention they deserve. SPECIAL SKILLS: As a high school teacher, and in my experience working with dogs, I have found that positive reinforcement can be an extremely powerful motivator (for all species!). I have become acutely aware of how/when to reinforce good behavior (sometimes with belly-rubs, sometimes with treats!), which helps curb unruly behavior. Furthermore, I'm a very active individual, so rest assured your dog will be getting the exercise he/she needs.
