I was a veterinary assistant.
Pet care experience
I believe animals are a gift from God. I was raised with animals and was taught to care for them. I worked as a veterinary assistant through high school and college. I have rescued and raised litters of kittens and puppies. At the present time I am helping with infant squirrels for "rescue and release". My children have been raised around many different types of animals. I do not believe in harness, and instead use reinforcement with words to set the boundaries and behavior patterns. I believe in close contact and touching when training animals.I respect they have natural instincts and are not reasoning the same way humans do. It is important not to force them into new situations and demand instant compliance. They need to survey the situation and let their instincts shift from ''flight or fight" to trust and safe compliance.Touching and low patient words bring direction to a confusing transition, weather expected or not expected.
Reviews
Linda is one of my dearest friends. There have been many occasions when we have gone on vacation and she has taken care of our two cats one of which requires medicine every night. Not only does she make sure they are fed and watered morning and night she takes the time to cuddle and make them feel loved. She has a vast knowledge of all animals through her past experience working in a Vet Hospital. I highly recommend her for this position.

A typical day
They will have continous human interaction, and according to the personality of the dog there would be different activities. Their family would inform me of the needs of their pet, and what they hope would be the procedure of the day which will keep the pet fulfilled and not frustrated or anxious.
