I've had dogs most of my life. I have always trained my own dogs. I have regular verbal interaction with my dogs, after all, they understand us humankind. I will love your dog as my own because I genuinely love them. I believe God put dogs on this earth to teach us about unconditional love, peace and happiness! Dogs love me and are drawn to me. I think that is because they sense my love for them. I love nurturing. Loving on, feeding, walking and generally caring for dogs bring peace and serenity to my life. When I am entrusted to care for your dog I consider him to be mine and will treat him as though he is. Dogs are people too. Doris H.
