I have always owned many pets growing up. I can't remember a time when I haven't had a dog. Even when I went off to college I adopted a dog on my own. During summer, I will be home full time besides vacations. While caring for your animal I will make sure they have optimal care. I did crate train, potty train, and taught my dog other tricks on my own. I don't have much paid experience, but I know I can give your dog the care they deserve. I do live on basically a more farm style property. There may be no fence, but it is far from any traffic. I will of course supervise any outside time. Anything your dog wants it will get!
