I grew up with a Sheltie and a lab mix mutt and have experience with dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I currently have two large dogs of my own. One has health issues so I understand needs like special diets and medication routines. I put both of my dogs through obedience training and was a volunteer assistant for a trainer who worked with both pet and service dogs. My dogs are like children to me and I believe in treating other people's pets the same way.
