I've owned 2 german shepherds, a golden retriever, a mix between the two, a stray, and currently have a rescue that is German Shepherd Shar-pei mix. I will play with your dog, teach them if you want, love them, and make sure they are happy in your absence. I'm very good with creating a relationship with dogs, and showing them the love and affection they want and need. I've been present when we had a professional trainer helping with 2 german shepherds. I'm the person that goes to a party and will play with the dog. "Dogs may only be a part of our life, but to them we are their whole life." Dogs like people need a lot of love, and play time and that is what you will get from me. There is no other way to treat a dog.
