I will follow any guidelines concerning diet or training. I am really good with dogs that are shy. If you want me to get them more vigorous exercise I am willing to run with them. I am really good at earning their trust, the only dog I wasn't able to win over just got scared of my sometimes loud laugh. I am the only person my sister trusts to take care of her border collie mix puppy, I take care of my friends dogs all the time, and I grew up taking care of my family dogs. I've also been caring for my aunts geriatric golden retriever. I've trained my dog to walk without a leash, she stops at all crosswalks, won't chase things if I tell her to leave it, and will come back on command
