As a kid I used to watch all the dog shows on Animal Planet, And my favorite show was Caesar Millan he had the best catch phrase " I rehabilitate dogs and train people." I have my own dog shortly after that and trained her myself without any guidance from adults. I used all the techniques I learned from the shows to do that. I am confident I will care for your dog appropriately, your dog will be in great & loving hands. Also A couple of times last year my neighbors went on vacation and asked if they could leave their dogs with my niece and nephew I helped them with that. Just know that your dog will be surrounded by love and affection.
