I have trained and lived with dogs since I was 5. My first puppy, a dalmatian-shepherd mix, was a well trained, mild-mannered fella who knew all the tricks and lived to be 14. I lived with my guide dog training aunts for 2 years, and gained tons of experience with pups throughout. They have 5 personal dogs, all Labrador retrievers, regularly have between 1 and 3 training puppies, and despite it all their household runs like a well-oiled machine thanks to tools and skills they passed on to me while I was with them. I regularly care for family members pets and am not afraid to get my hands dirty! I love taking time out of my day to get down on their level and really bond with them. I live with my sister who loves animals as much as I do. She helps me care for the pups and ensures we typically have someone available to be home at all hours, and we are both careful to keep our apartment as safe as any pet owners would do for their own animals.
