Since I can remember, I've had an exceptional affinity with puppers (3+ years old? still a puppy to me!) I've grown up surrounded by doggos, they bring out the best in me and vice-versa. I exhude a calm demeanor and know dogs pick up on this. Even if they're excitable, I'm able to quickly calm them and gain their trust with pets, and head & butt scratches. Dogs are not tepid or shallow, and are extremely effective at communicating for not being able to speak the same language. They are certainly fluent in playfulness, compassion, sensitivity, and sympathy and it's not hard to recognize their emotional state and act accordingly. Unless a dog has demonstrated aggressive tendencies, there has not been one that I haven't been able to relate to, love on, and relish in playtime with. Kisses are welcome and encouraged! I've got plenty of energy to match any breed and would be more than happy to tucker them out with a game of fetch. Or forbid, even hinting at the word W-A-L-K. . . Although I don't personally have any dogs, I currently live with 2 (*see cover photo, 10 year-old male Australian Shepherd and 11 year-old female Red Lacy, not pictured) and I consider them mine, along with just about any doggo I have the pleasure of encountering. I favor doggos, but am familiar with feline friends as well. It would be great if you can provide me with any commands they may be familiar with, how they interact around other dogs, what kind of behaviors you would like reinforced or avoided, and any tendencies or special care they may need. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
