I've owned and taken care of dogs my whole life :) Growing up I mostly had Shih Tzus, Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Labradors, and other mixed breeds. I spent my summers in high school volunteering at an animal shelter that housed both dogs and cats. I also have experience with farm animals such as chickens and horses. I have even taken care of a pet squirrel, a pet snake, a tortoise, bearded dragons, bunnies, birds, and llamas. I am comfortable administering medication if needed and have injected fluids and given insulin and B12 shots to dogs and cats. I am also a professional animal trainer and have experience training puppies and adult dogs on general obedience, walking on a leash, etc., and I have worked with dogs who have a history of aggressive or destructive behaviors.
