I love animals and my day is always better with a dog in it! I have a small chihuahua living with me - he's very friendly, loves other pups, and can even hang with the big dogs. I can exercise your dog, do trick and/or obedience training, hold a puppy playdate, or just keep your dog company. I rescued two dogs when I was a preteen - one was a stray and the other was abused, so they both needed lots of love and patience. As I got older, my family often kept our friends' dogs and had a small pack running around the house. Our dog family included a tiny chihuahua, a yappy terrier, a shy corgi, an energetic poodle mix, and a big neurotic shepherd. I've had experience watching and training all different personalities of pups.
