I have a Border Collie of my own (as well as a cat) and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I do not discriminate against breeds or the size of the dog especially due to the fact that I have had the smallest dogs all the way to Giant Schnauzers so I can handle anything and everything.In addition to that I did 4H dog obedience, agility, and showmanship for years while I was growing so not only do I know how to properly handle a dog, but I also am use to having a dog around people as well as other dogs so I know how to properly handle situations that could arise during the time your dog and I spend together .
