I use to own a black lab. I love to dog sit and I also went to dog training classes. I have been around dogs for over 27 years . I also use to volunteer at the spca. I was always around dogs , since age 12. we have had a two family dogs. I love taking my dog to the beach. I so loved being around the puppies at the pound. I have done some house sitting as well. I will even walk your dog and play fitch with them I will never let be alone or leave unless they are safe , I will never harm or hit them I will always treat them like one of my own , I love dogs and treat them well
