I've handled a variety of dogs and cats for most of my life from house-sitting, boarding them at my home, walking, etc. I have been recently expanding my skills and knowledge with dog handling and both mine and their behaviors. I've been studying from dog-trainer professionals via social media/online and or booklets and practicing them with my own dog to see improvement not only in our relationship but also for her safety. And that is one of the most important things to me as a pet owner is our relationship and their safety!
