I have always had dogs growing up. When I was a kid we adopted an older female pitbull that knew no tricks at all and I was able to train her to walk next to me without a leash, basic tricks, and jump small hurdles. Thats when I realized how amazing dogs really were. I have an almost 11 year-old lab pit mix that is my life and I know how much she loves attention. So I am willing to give up some of my free time to spend time with your pooch. I am a retired 911 dispatcher for Pinellas County after about 10 years so I have good references if needed. :)I am still employed with the County, just in a more "quiet" position. I am 32 years old and I own my home. I look forward to spending time with your puppy or even senior dog.
