I have been a dog owner my whole life and have a huge love for them! This past year I participated in a foster dog program and in years past have been a pet sitter for neighbors and friends on vacation (watching over several dogs and cats at a time). While being a dog owner I made sure to keep my dog active and very importantly, hydrated (and in the shade in summer). I also have experience training and giving oral medication. My training took place through personal experience as well as an animal behavior class where I learned about different methods of training, dog massage techniques, and communicative behavior. My apartment building has a big backyard area plus nearby parks. I love being outside and will surely keep your dog active and entertained!
