I have loved and owned dogs my whole life, I was always the kid that would try to bring all the neighborhood strays home. I have two toy breeds but love all breeds and all size. I recently started to train dogs for fun and would love to practice with some dogs bigger then 5 and 6 pounds. I love to get out and walk dogs and play fun games with them. I use only positive reinforcements while walking, playing or training. Before Bella, my Chihuahua, I have only owned big dogs so I am comfortable regardless of the size of your furbaby. I also have no problems loving your cats, birds, fish, lizards or even snakes, just no big spiders. :) I look forward to meeting you and your pets.
