I’ve lived with dogs (and cats) my entire life. I’ve handled mostly large breeds, including a Belgian Malinois which required professional training. And small, because my Mother has had chihuahua’s. I’m now a full time bunny and dog mom to Binx and Odis, and have two large dogs in the neighborhood that come to visit every other day or so. :) Big animal person - I promise your pets will be in good hands.
