We love to go hiking and walking as a pack and it creates a friendly socialization experience that enhances every dog's behavior. I took all the academic courses, scored in the 90th percentile from Animal Behavior College. (2009) First of all, I've always had pets in my life. Always had a dog, my father enjoyed rescuing dogs. Volunteer for Yavapai Humane Society. For four years, I was the sole caregiver for my parents with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and kept them in their home where they had lived for over 50 years. This taught me extreme patience and reliance on God's grace. Other experience: I have owned horses, an Arabian gelding, and a quarter horse colt that I trained. I have owned a National Show Horse, Carbon Copy, that was Reserve National Champion in driving. I trained with John Lyons, Robert Redford conferred with him making "The Horse Whisperer". Learned training techniques of Parelli Horsemanship from a Parelli trainer in the Prescott area. I fostered a Blue-fronted Amazon parrot and an African-Grey parrot for a year for a friend. I had two golden retrievers for 13 years for my boys and adopted two rescue Shelties that were my constant companions for 13 years. I consider the wildlife in my backyard as my responsibility to provide an environment that allows them to thrive naturally. Of course, I have several bird feeders and a birdbath. Why I love dog sitting It started as one of my earliest memories. About the age of three, I crawled into my neighbor's doghouse where their dog had given birth to a litter of puppies. I just felt like part of the family and just loved those little precious creatures. I fell asleep and stayed there until the neighborhood was looking for me. My parents were worried sick, but I woke up and came out from my surrogate family, happy as a lark. My experience administering medication Yes, I have administered insulin twice a day, using a syringe, to one of our elderly dogs. My rescue Shelties also had cancer medications each at different times at the end of their lives, and I used several methods to fool them into taking their meds. This year I traveled to Honduras on a mission trip and assisted 12 of the veterinarians in working with dogs, horses, and cattle.
