I am a speech-language therapist that has worked hard to learn skills to help people communicate successfully; I think dogs want to teach us how they communicate if we take the time to build a trusting relationship which is what I will do with your pet. I volunteered at a local dog training "paws for ability" and was able to socialize young dogs in my community, keeping the dog with my family for short time. But mostly, I love the different personalities of dogs and especially the company and enjoyment I feel being around them. :) I also love to walk! My life is better because of being around my four legged friend and I am looking forward to meeting new loving and playful pups!
