At home, I have two dogs. A shih-tzu, toy-poodle mix, named Auggie, as well as a Bernese Mountain dog, Zoey. These two could not be more different from each other, and yet we make it work! With Auggie and Zoey, I've been able to experience caring for dogs big and small, learning about their differences, their needs, and what keeps them happy. I've also been able to teach them several tricks (always a fun pastime), including using a bell to let me know they want to go outside. My family got them both as puppies, so I also have experience learning to potty train, crate train, and walk on a leash. Teaching a puppy can be difficult, but so much fun. I'd love to take care of your dog(s), and you might come home to them knowing something new!
