I have grown up with 5 dogs since the age of 10. I have worked at a dog daycare for over a year now, and have a small dog of my own. I have house sat 2 large dogs for 2 years and practice obedience training at the daycare. I administer medication to older dogs and pay attention to which dogs are more independent than others. Dogs listen to me because I have the most respect towards them. I truly believe everyone would benefit from owning a dog. Being on my own for a few years now, my small dog Alfonso who I take (almost) everywhere with me has helped me in more ways than I could have ever thought.
