There has been a dog in my family ever since I was born. Over the years, I have had much practice training dogs to do things such as sit, stay, down, paw, roll over, and speak. I mentioned that I have had five years of experience caring for dogs. The dog who I have cared for has seriously become one of my best friends. Not only have I taught her tricks, allowed her to go potty, fed her, and taken her for walks, but I have also played with her and just hung out with her each and every time I have come over. It always breaks my heart when I have to leave. Dogs truly are amazing animals. I have also volunteered over at Lake Shore Paws walking dogs. I am so passionate about exercise and fitness, and so walking dogs definitely is one of my favorite things to do.
