I absolutely love dogs. I am kind, loving, gentle but strict. I can train while I have them with the commands you choose. I have had a dog off and on since I was 8 yrs old and have read 14 books on dog training. My golden doodle is very well behaved but spoiled. He is part of the family and goes everywhere with us. My 14 and 16yr old daughters also love dogs and will keep them going so they are very tired when you get home. I look forward to taking great care of your canine family member. I generally work evening but only 6 days/3mos as pediatric nurse practitioner and then my family is here to help. We love puppies and small dogs but will take well behaved larger dogs.
