I'm a big hearted lover of all animals. I have personally trained cats to roll over lol. I was with the U.S. Army as a Combat Military Police Officer with a K9 at my hip for upwards of a year and a half and cried when I had to pass him down to another unit. I have been around many types of dogs and know how most of them function mentally. Friends have always asked me to house sit when they are away because when we are having a "get together" I'm the guy in the back yard playing with your dogs instead of socializing. I am however a firm believer of obedience but can work with any animals level of obedience without a hitch. Will train for a bit more $. I do not believe in any physical punishment unless it is absolutely and unavoidably necessary. My methods of any kind of punishment toward a pet would have more of a mental impact and would give the pet more closely of an idea of what they did wrong or failed to do. Knowing when to praise for actions and obedience as well as scorning for bad actions and behaviors can quickly teach most dogs the best of manners. Being firm and consistent is another key. I love giving attention and most pets can't get enough of it so I feel I would be great with your pet(s).
