I have my own 6 month old puppy now and love him to death. I grew up with several different dogs- a chihuahua, a collie, and a lab. I know basic training techniques and have a lot of patience for dogs. I have experience with clicker training, potty training, and basic obedience. I used to walk my neighbors boxers daily from middle school up until I graduated high school and moved away. That was at times tough since they were big dogs but i learned a lot about walking during this time. I think that dogs can a form of therapy as they love you unconditionally. I enjoy the presence of dogs so much. I will care for your dog like I care for my own and give them plenty of loving.
