I had a family dog for 18 years of my life for which I was the one providing most of the care. I've also dog sat for several friends and co-workers. I now own a 2 year old Shiba Inu mix who is high energy and I love her very much. My experience goes from puppy age all the way through 15 year old senior dogs. I've had experience with small toothless dogs, medium sized high energy cattle dogs, and large senior dogs. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and know correct leash behavior. I follow instructions very well and am secure and knowledgeable in my experience with dogs.
