I have owned cats and dogs all of my life! What sets me apart is that I have experience dealing with perhaps more "difficult" dogs - of course, they are all angels, but some happen to be a little more shy or territorial of their homes, and that's okay! My family and I have both rescued strays and raised dogs from the time of puppyhood, so young, old, and everything in between, I am 100% comfortable with! I spent the summer before college walking neighbor's dogs, and I've spent plenty of time caring and walking my own. We like to explore, but we are vigilant of traffic and other passerby with their own lovely pets. If your dog maybe has a hard time keeping their excitement to a minimum during walks, a few short bursts of jogging is usually the perfect way to calm them back down to enjoy the day! I love and adore every dog I meet as if they were my own, and I promise I will treat your pets the same way!
