I have been around dogs my whole life. My aunt was a foster mother for dogs, she would teach us how to take care of them. I've had many dogs growing up, now I own an Irish setter/golden retriever and one Irish setter. They are puppies so I've had experiences training my dogs. Ive always loved being around animals, I also have had personal experience with cats, I have one cat that I've had sense she was a kitten. I also had a cat growing up that was my childhood pet. I would love to meet your pet that you call family! I own two dogs and a cat, I'm very busy all the time with them. I have one Irish setter who is 8 months old and a golden retriever/Irish setter who is one. Im always playing outside or going to parks or even just drives with them. My cat is a pretty simple girl, she loves to play outside. If I am at a clients home I will gladly do any training they need me to do. If you like your dog crate trained throughout the day then that is what I will do. I do have a car so if they love the dog park or any parks I can take them!
