I understand dogs and what they are needing. I am loving but firm. I enjoy walking them and playing with them. Anything they need. I have taken in many rescues and helped them get back on their feet before finding a wonderful new owner for them. I have done community service at the humane society that I quite enjoyed. I've spent time training many dogs in my 20's. Many different breeds and sizes. It's fun to see all their different personalities. (even the butt heads) Speaking of butt heads... IMPORTANT NOTE: I CURRENTLY HAVE A LARGE CHOCOLATE LAB. HE'S SUPER GOOFY-LOTS OF ENERGY. IF YOUR DOG DOESN'T GET ALONG WITH OTHER DOGS, I CANNOT WATCH THEM! I don't need dog fighting in this home. Thanks!
