I grew up with dogs that are small and large, less than 20lb and over 80lb. Our dogs had long hair and would shed, so I'm used to combing dogs. And I just helped my parents raise their new puppy, a labradoodle and aussie mix. I am familiar with puppies and elderly dogs. I've cared for dogs that are range from 10 weeks old to 17 years old I have experience with dogs that are crated, that are outdoor dogs, those free to roam anywhere in the house, and dogs who take daily medicine. I like hiking with them at the parks or taking them to the dog park and playing fetch or going running with them. I am happy to answer any questions too.
