I come from a pet (especially dog) friendly household. I have taken care of various kinds of dogs since I can remember. I was born into a family with dogs and we have had three ever since. We currently have a Duck Toller mix, Potcake, and an English Bulldog. The house was nicknamed "the farm" because families in my town would leave their dogs with us to watch and care for. Since the age of 12, I was responsible for walking and feeding (all three dogs) daily. During feeding time I would distribute the necessary medication to each dog along with their supplements. Each week I would alternate walking routes, every couple days I would take them on a hike and their usual was the local dog park. They would also receive weekly baths to get rid of all the dirt from the week. My Duck Toller is a COVID puppy, and I assisted training her. We worked on the basic commands, training on a leash, and how to approach dogs/people. I have also cared for dogs with disabilities and allergies. This past fall I adopted a Potcake from the Turks and Caicos islands. I trained him for the first six months before he became too big to travel cross country with me. When I return home we are still working on training on the leash and reacting to other dogs and young kids.
