I have worked at a dog daycare for the last three and a half years. I am comfortable with every type of dog there could be from hyper to nervous to scared. I also am a big believer in positive reinforcement and have my sixty pound animal driven Belgian Mal trained to walk right beside me! I see up to 100 dogs daily and love every single one of them! I grew up having four dogs of different sizes and currently have two, the Belgian mal and a twelve year old Golden. When the weather is nice, I love just sitting outside with my dogs letting them breathe in the fresh air! My Golden doesn't play much anymore but my Belgian Mal would play frisbee for hours if he could, so I definitely have the patience and effort to play with a pup long enough to wear them out!
