I have grown up with dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I am also a dog trainer and sitter for a local guide dog organization and frequently work with and help to train and socialize labs, retrievers and poodles from 8 weeks to 16 months of age. I am comfortable caring for all different types of dogs. We have an active household and treat our pets like the family they are. We have 2 children in the home who also assist in socializing the guide dogs we have in training. They are familiar with how to care for and treat all types of animals. We have one permanent very social dog in our home, and have different guide dogs in training in our home.
