I have grown up around dogs my whole life. As a son of a former K-9 officer I am comfortable with all sorts of dogs. I have a huge affection for them. Dogs, even the more difficult ones respond very well to me. I am very gentle yet firm when comes to respecting the dog while also letting it know who is walking who. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and look forward to every walk. I currently volunteer at no-kill German Shepherd rescue center in Downtown Los Angeles. One of the biggest benefits of helping at the center is the opportunity to work with dogs with every different temperament and personality. I feel that this has helped me be more fully rounded and able to work with a big variety of dogs.
