Dogs have been in my family since I was 7. I have worked at a doggy day care and dog wash. There I learned a lot about working with older dogs and dogs that are shy or scared. I have a lot of patience with dogs and don't get scared by them, I've been bitten before but that hasn't made me fear dogs, it actually drove me to learn how to better work with dogs to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I've raised my last two dogs from 6 weeks old. I have also taken care of family and friends dogs when they needed.
