I've always grown up with a variety of dogs in rural Wisconsin. From small beagles to a large (and wonderful) St. Bernard. I grew up having to learn how to work with my family's dogs, and as such I have found that I'm extremely patient with them. I love spending time with dogs, and getting to know their many different personalities. I'm prepared to take dogs for walks in all kinds of weather, and am happy to give your dog the attention that it needs. Each dog has its own personality and a successful dog handler needs to be patient and understanding with the dog that they are working with. I've lived with "difficult" dogs before in college and found that patience and a firm personality often helps keep the dogs feeling relaxed.
