I'm Sam, 32 years old, bookish but active. Great with dogs in terms of patience, throwing the ball extra, and letting pups get their full exercise. Preference is to go to dog park, but walk routines great as well. Main walking/sitting experience is with two full grown and very active labradors (Jake and Sadie), who I also helped train with love and understanding. Both were adopted after being displaced in the 2010 Nashville flood. From 2011 through 2013 and intermittently in 2014 I took them on long walks, the dog park, and trained them to wait at the bottom of the stairs and respond to gentle commands. Not looking to retrain any dogs, but I will use my know-how to get your dog exercised and happy.
