I have always had dogs in my life. I am a particular fan of terrier breeds having owned Airedales and Welsh Terriers. I understand that terrier parents don't necessarily feel comfortable leaving their terrier with just any sitter, because a terrier isn't just any dog. I love their intelligence, quirkiness, high energy level, creative naughtiness, and sense of humor. My experience in obedience training with terriers is that one needs to be firm, consistent and have volumes of patience and a sense of humor as terriers love doing things their own way. We have a securely fenced backyard that is great for playful romps or just rolling in the grass and snoozing in the sun. Our neighborhood is quiet with very little automobile traffic and sidewalks for safe on-leash walks when weather permits.
