I have had dogs my entire life and am an avid animal lover. I was training my dalmatian when I was 10 years old. I have been dog/cat/house sitting since I was 13 years old. I am willing to help train your dog if you let me know what it is you would like worked on. I think training is so important. I love taking my dog for walks every day. I think nature walks are beneficial to dogs so they can smell all sorts of smells. The smells and the exercise combine to tire them out. I love dogs for their unique personalities, which makes them so fun! I am a special education teacher, so I have more time available for dog walking during the summer months. My dog boarding and sitting availability does not change during the seasons.
