I have owned both little dogs and big dogs. My big dog was a rescue dog so I have experience working with maladaptive behaviors and with implementing positive reinforcement. When I first got him, he would attack other dogs and could NOT be left off a leash. Before he passed, he was able to be around dogs and was trusted off-leash while camping. I have raised my current dog since she was 6 weeks old. She's very well behaved, potty trained, very smart, and an expert off-lease hiker ;) Outside of dogs, my roommate has two cats that get along very well with my dog and hang out with me while i'm doing homework. I've volunteered at many animal shelters and have even volunteered at an elephant sanctuary to help provide veterinary care. My point is that I know how to work with animals very well and I love working with them. I'm not weird. I'm just in medical school and am looking for some extra cash. :)
