I have lived with dogs my entire life. I have worked as a Dog Bather, and I also do photo shoots with animals. I'm not afraid of any kind of dog, medium-big dogs are my favorite, though. They always think they're lap dogs, but they never quite fit all the way. I am trained in handling small medical emergencies. Also, I can handle hygiene for your pet including: teeth cleaning, matt removal, and nail trimming. However, I do not use clippers, I prefer to dremmel dog nails. I feel that it helps to remove more fully the risk of harming the dog. My dog is my child, I wouldn't want anyone taking care of her without proper knowledge, why shouldn't your dog have the same consideration?
