I have had or been around animals of one kind or another since I was born. I learned at a younger age of about 8 to address Dogs and treat them with respect. Over the years I also learned from one of my aunts how to communicate with them because she is a Dog breeder in another state. Also for Cats I have read many books and trained 3 to behave in a manner, like no jumping in the counter, and sit and stay, to build more bonding. I currently own 4 rescue animals, 2 dogs and 2 cats. I also have a couple years of experience with bunnies, I used to own 40 in highschool and show some at the 4H program. Also owned ferrets (2 year in highschool).
