Michaela grew up with 6 labs usually there were 2 at a time in the house. Now as an adult, she rescued a dog, Niko, that had been traumatized before entering the shelter. She turned him into a really lovable little dog. She then lived in a house with a big back yard and had 2 dogs, one of which was pretty unruly and the other who was had been a rescue, was skittish. She would take both dogs out on daily walks. She worked tirelessly with each one and they both became really sweet boys. When my husband and I travel we feel most comfortable when leaving our chocolate lab, Bustah, with her. I know he will be loved, walked, played fetch, and treated like part of her family. She's good using commands and works really well helping to achieve an obedient lovable dog. Even if a dog is a bad walker for their owners, she amazes me at her ability to have their fury friend walk seamlessly with Michaela. And one of the things I love most about leaving my guy with Michaela is, that I walk him myself daily for abut 4-6 miles, she will do the same and not just a quick around the bend and back. And she really really loves dogs!!! She is in a new apartment and really misses having a fury friend close by. I think it would be a win-win for whoever she helps out with their bowzers and getting them out and about!
