My first job was as a pet care specialist at Petsmart. Aside from growing up with our family pups, I gained valuable experience surrounding canine training and general health from this occupation. I've also lived with intermittently with dogs in the city. Although I'm waiting until I'm more settled to find my own dog, I've always taken care my roommates and family members dogs. In the past year I helped my friend take care of her dog who was suffering severe physical trauma from a car accident. That in itself was a learning experience in doggy first -aid! I've lived with and cared for dogs throughout most of my life, caring for our canine friends is second nature to me. I will love your dog like my own!
