I spend most of my time with dogs outside. Whether it be with a schnauzer, pitbull, or labrador, I have no problems getting dogs to trust me and relieve that feeling of fear they may have meeting someone new. I always allow the dog to smell and get to know me first before approaching and excessively petting the dog. I have gained a large amount of information about the care of dogs from my brother who works at thw VCA in Culver City and the amount of attention that is required to build a bond between pets and those around them. I have also learning conditioning methods for the younger pups in terms of training and obedience from various publications given to me by friends and from my academics.
