I've lived with different dogs over the years, my last dog lived with us for 12 years. My current dog came to live here in 2015, and loves being with other dogs, a very social guy! I have taken care of dogs for friends and relatives for many years. I have worked with an exceptional trainer to get myself adjusted to my previous two dogs, both rescues. Now a very experienced dog owner, I visit dog parks and/or prospect park every day. I love spending time with a group of dogs. And I have learned how to avoid possible problems, keeping ahead of the game. It is important to anticipate what a dog is feeling, and sometimes give them alone time, or just one human to one dog for a bit.
