Make sure the dog gets feed , watered, and goes for a walk if allowed. Show nonverbal and compassionate verbal communication. Willing to make new friends and be understanding of others too. Available during the week and some weekends too. I do have a house with a backyard and a Cabin in the mountains too. I've worked with farm animals too besides working with , German Shepard ,.
