I have had dogs all my life, but don't have any that live with me now. I have learned through experience and education how they should and like to be treated. I treat each one as if they are my own. Dogs always seem to warm to me and bond very well. I also have a great understanding of how to communicate with them through gestures and energy. I really like to take them for long walks or hikes, depending on what they are capable of, and am happy to see them rested and content afterwards. And then give them affection when they are calm and submissive. I have no intention of treating them in anyway that an owner does not approve of or desire. I have used dog sitters many times over the years and have had great and horrible experiences. I know what I would expect from someone who takes care of dogs, and that is what they will receive from me. I assure you, your dog or puppy will receive the love and care that you would only hope for.
