I grew up on a farm and still live on a small one. Im a biologist and retired biology teacher from Alaska. I raised, trained and administered all med's for approx. 100 dogs which ran the Iditarod yearly. There is no dog that is "too much " for me. I approach them quietly until they feel trust. I've been called a "whisperer" by many. I adore dogs .Their personalities are so funny to me!I keep them in my pet free home, meaning I have no pets at this point. I pay attention to their signals that let me know they need to go out or are hungry or frightened. I do things far and above for any animal as they cant speak for themselves. Peace
