I have owned a dog for 11 years, but unfortunately don't live with him anymore as I am attending university. I might have more availability as my student life allows for many random time slots throughout the week. I generally enjoy being around any animal, but am particularly comfortable around dogs. I am used to dogs with a lot of energy and will play with them until they are too tired. I have done various types of puppy training with our family dog. I will gladly follow any specific training instructions of the owners if this is wanted. My own dog has high maintenance needs because of his fur and I am prepared to work with dogs that have similar needs. I look forward to the experience.
