I have owned dogs all my life, and I regularly care for my parents' 16 year old Shiba who has chronic pain and ear infections. I'm patient, energetic, determined, loving, and willing to run with your dogs. I spend a lot of time giving them love and playing - Positive reinforcement only, of course. I've had a lot of practice with training animals with the commands their owners chose for them and I like to take animals on long walks around the Minneapolis park systems and to other places they lead me to help get their energy out. I'll be your dog's next best friend and I'll make sure they're comfortable and all tired out by the time you get home to see them again.
