I'm a retired employee from the US Department of Education. I've been a dog volunteer with the Maryland SPCA for around a year. I have taken several dog handling classes at the SPCA. I have been trained in handling both easy to care for dogs. I've also been trained in handling dogs with behavioral and dominance issues. I don't have a dog of my own, so your dog will be the center of attention. I'm retired, so I'm free to spend time with your dog throughout the day. I usually let dogs come up on the furniture. My schedule is fairly flexible in my schedule. I prefer to avoid early mornings, but other than that I'm usually free. I love taking care of dogs, and am doing this more to be with dogs than to make money.
