Hi y'all, You'll be hard pressed to find someone to love your pets better than I will when you are away. I have always lived with a dog since I was born, some days I love dogs more than people. I have volunteered for different animal shelters, I have the experience and the ability to work with every kind of dog. More importantly, I know that dogs need plenty of playtime, but they really need love and someone they can trust to love them. Pets are happiest with a routine, for example mine know exactly when their breakfast, dinner, and play times are everyday no matter what. I would love to provide that for your pets as well. I can adapt to any play time and training tactics you are already using. My personal strategy is positive reinforcement, dogs always respond better to doing or not doing something when they receive a treat not when they are punished (but there are a couple actions that can warrant a pop on the butt). I am a very active person, so I am able to keep up your dog's current active lifestyle. Right now I work full time from 8:30am - 5pm, Monday through Friday. I am able to do walks early in the morning, over lunch, and in the evenings.
