I have taken care of neighbors dogs before and i walk my own dog twice a day for 30 minutes each. I am currently in highschool and in the Illinois National Guard, I am a certified Lifeguard with CPR and basic first aid training through the American Red Cross. my first dog was a golden retriever that taught me to walk, then a pitbull who i originally learned to train dogs and actually got into working with dogs. I now have a " mutt " a mix between kanin and a herding dog, i have raised a Chihuahua for my older brother while he was on a deployment ( US Army) for a year. I am currently in the National Guard myself. I love dogs!
