i have my own maltese that is around 5 years old. he has taught me so much about dogs and how to properly care for and love them. i love going on walks with him and teaching him tricks! i work well with all ages of dogs, from young to old. it is so important to make pets family! i would go out of my way to make sure that your dog has everything that they need and then some. i can give your dog a bath if something happens and they get dirty, or treat a sore paw if need be. i do work part-time at the mall, but when i am home during the week, my time is focused around being with dogs.
