I’ve been around dogs since I was a child. Growing up, there were always dogs in my neighbourhood, and I loved spending time and playing with them. I’ve also had my own dog for the past 6 years, which has taught me a lot about caring for dogs and understanding their behaviour. I’m constantly learning to better understand their body language and needs - for example, recognising when a dog is feeling scared, uncomfortable, or anxious. I believe that understanding a dog’s behaviour is an important part of making them feel safe, happy, and cared for.
