I've raised puppies, fostered numerous dogs, and even cats - I trust animals and they trust me. We currently have three dogs living in our house and I am the favorite lap in the house :-). Our dogs are trained - they heal, sit, walk confidently on a leash and they come on command. The training wasn't difficult because the dogs see the training as a game and they like to learn.Our family has raised and trained a service puppy and we all have learned that giving up a dog for service is difficult and rewarding. Taking care of animals is rewarding to both the human and the animal, I've lived in Atlanta for more than 25 years and I know some great places to walk dogs.
