I grew up with dogs. I have a young german shepherd / husky mix of my own (I have taken lots of dog behavior and training classes when she was a puppy, she is very energetic and smart so I needed all the help I could get). I have cared for all kinds of other dogs. I'm on a horse farm a few days a week where I train young horses and hang out with many dogs. I love walking my dog outdoors (and yours too)! I work from home so I will be able to give your dog lots of timely loving attention. I am patient and caring towards all animals!
