I have owned dogs my entire life (both large and small breeds). I currently have a 5 year old Cocker Spaniel mix who is about 26 pounds. I got him when he was 8 weeks old and trained him myself (crate training, potty training, and he knows several tricks as well!). He has grown up to be a very well behaved dog. I love taking him to the dog park or the dog beach and for his daily walks around the lake in our neighborhood. Growing up I had an English Pointer who weighed 80 pounds at his heaviest, so I have experience handling large breeds as well. I have a strong passion for caring for animals (especially dogs), and I will treat your dog like my own!
