I've had dogs for the majority of my life, everything from a tiny and hyper Italian greyhound to a massive and amazingly sweet boxer. In Minneapolis, I worked with Secondhand Hounds, a rescue group for animals from high-kill shelters. I have training in behavior analysis (previously used in working with kids with autism) and can help train your dog if you like! I have my own wonderful (and absurdly friendly) dog, who will happily come along if your dog wants a playmate. He is also afraid of ridiculous things (such as the dark and the Febreeze can), so I have significant experience dealing with any kind of personality quirks like that. As long as your dog is up for pets, love, and some wonderful exercise, I promise to be attentive and pampering to your wonderful family member. Thanks for considering me!
