I think dogs are the best. I currently have a dog, which is why I don't offer boarding. I adopted my dog when she was 5 weeks old (she is now 5 years old), and we have gone to an average of 1 training class a year. I'm a big advocate on "the more you know, the better off you will be" mind set. Over the years, I have gained many tools and training techniques that have come in handy in a variety of different circumstances. I know that each dog is different, and therefore needs different attention. I am also aware that they are pack animals and the need to establish my position fairly quickly is important. I am adept at giving baths and light grooming.
