When I was in high school, I had a Shih Tzu who was a very loving dog. I have two German Shorthair Pointers who are like my children and they get treated like so. They are hunting dogs and very active, so I know what all the energy is about. I am a dog-aunt to two Dachshund dogs who are amazing, and I get to pet sit a lot. Also, I am a dog-aunt to two Coonhound dogs. My dogs are leash trained and shock collar trained so that they can work a field. I am willing to work with your dogs on potty training and leash training. Potty training is a lot of work, and it can't be done overnight. I can't wait to meet and care for your dog-children.
