I have had dogs all my life. I understand dogs and their needs. Your pupper will feel loved and secure with me. I have had all breeds and ages. I have dealt with sick doggies, pregnant doggies, big and little doggies. Yes I have been bitten, but I am not afraid; a dog bites when he feels threatened. I have a strong no nonsense voice when needed. And a soft touch and gentle words for frightened confused pups who have been left for the first time. Dogs are welcome on my furniture or my lap. Lots of petting and playtime. I love dogs and all animals and would run a huge ranch for them if I could, so I'll have to do it one dog at a time for now.
