I used to have a pet dog when I was little. I have always loved animals, especially dogs. In high school I used to volunteer at an animal shelter. My club in high school, the HELP Animals Club, raised money each year for a local pet shelter. I also volunteered in Thailand at an animal sanctuary for a summer during college. Dogs feel comfortable around me, we usually hit it off pretty quickly. I am very patient and caring. I have some experience with helping my friend train his dog. I enjoy taking long walks. I have no problems with that 'wet dog' smell. I mean that I don't mind bathing dogs. I will treat your dog as if he or she is a part of the family. I am also good with dogs that have anxiety issues.
