I had a dog growing up but as an adult I had my first dog 13 years ago, a yellow lab that I trained and cared until her last day not too long ago. I feel like nothing will replace her and not sure if I'm ready to commit to have another puppy, so I want to share my love to pets and help others when needed by providing this service. I work from home and can manage to take care of a pet. I prefer calm and well trained pets. If pet needs a lot of attention and some training, I'd like to have the option to use a crate and will try to support training. My kids will love to help as well, of course under my supervision. We are home most weekends. I have a long leash and used that with my dog to keep her in an especific area of our big backyard. I can easily commit to a trained-calm dog. As mentioned before I studied and followed many experts on dog training, which allowed me to train my last dog. She was a bird hunting dog as well.
