Three years ago, I adopted a Dutch hound mix puppy named Riven and raised her until she was two and a half. I was fully involved training, feeding, playing, walking, even just being present and attuned to her needs every day. After my breakup, she moved away with my ex, but the bond I built with dogs has stayed strong. Before having my own, I also helped neighbors and friends with their pets whether it was walking, feeding, or keeping them company while they were away. I’m not a professional trainer but I love to maintain routines, I treat every dog with care, attention, and love like they’re part of my family.
