Ever since I was a kid I've taken care of dogs. When I was a child my family was gifted a German Shepard Puppy. My way older brother and my mom would do most of the training, but they didn't socialize the dog properly, so it was accustomed to biting and being aggressive. Me and my other slightly older brother were tasked with walking the dog regularly. It grew quick and I got dragged a couple times because the dog was too big and strong for me to control all the way. This is why I'm only accepting dogs 40lbs and under. I do not feel it's safe for me to walk a dog if I cannot properly control it in emergency situations. At one point the neighbors toddler wondered out of their house without supervision. My German Shepard lunged at the kid and I put myself between my growling, barking German Shepard and the kid until their guardian came out and got them. Using this as an example of how I've dealt with unruly dogs in the past, I would like to say I'm not accepting unruly dogs that have a habit of biting, growling, or aggressively barking at myself, other people, or dogs. It is unfortunately a hazard and safety risk. A couple years after my way older brother moved out with his dog, our next door neighbors gave us their dog, a tiny white German Shepard who was nearing the end of her life. I filled and replaced the food and water in her bowls, gave her baths, trimmed her nails, washed her paws, and brushed her. When thunderstorms or holidays with loud fireworks came, I would have to wrap her in a special vest since she would tremble so hard, poor thing. Her previous owners didn't take care of her teeth properly, so they were a little rotten. She was also incontinent, so I would puppy pads in my room and take her out every couple of hours, even waking up at 2am to take her outside to use the bathroom. I did this until we had to put her down due to unfortunate health problems. This being said I know how to cut a dogs nails, bathe them, and brush them. I don't know how to brush their teeth or wipe their ears, though I'm willing to learn if that's something you'd like to do. I'm keeping my care limited to dog walks only due to wanting to keep my address private for now. <:)
