I own an older female dog between the ages of 7 and 10 years old whose very playful and loves other dogs. I have always had pets in my family and I have dealt with my fair share of aggressive dogs, older dogs, nervous dogs, and puppies! I have dealt with parvo so I can easily recognize those symptoms, as well as other illnesses and things like allergies. So I do have a lot of experience in how to deal with certain kinds of dog emergencies. I consider myself to be very experienced with keeping dogs and I do have some knowledge on dog psychology/behavior that really helps me when it Comes to being around dogs, and getting them comfortable in new environments even if only temporary.
