Since I was seven years old, I have had and trained 5 Portuguese Water Dogs. I've experienced different types of situations that dogs bring. I have also dealt with many different types of dogs, ranging in size from small to large. I am a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society. Dogs immediately form great trust in me. From dealing with 5 Portuguese Water Dogs, I have become very experienced in dealing with high energy dogs. I have also learned to know when unfriendly dogs are approaching and avoid altercations with them. I have dealt with sick dogs and old dogs and can usually tell when a dog isn't feeling well. My schedule is very flexible and I am available at most times during the day to walk and house sit dogs.
