I grew up with dogs my whole life, my family has had huskies, border collies, Shepherds, chihuahuas, Maltese, shih tzu, poodles and dobermans. I have also volunteered at Denver Dumb Friends League. My love for dogs has been solidified through the years of being exposed to them, to me they are family and I treat them the way I would treat a person. My experience with bigger dogs helped me sympathize with our furry friends and also have learned how to help with behavior. Our husky diamond was given to us as a puppy, as we grew with her we helped her learn how to behave around children and give her the attention and stimulation she needed. I am very patient and love to play so I have a keen sense for what our friends need. I am also a personal trainer so I am not against goin on a run, I find it better to run with a partner and I could not think of a better exercise buddy than a dog!
