I have had dogs all my life and mostly Golden Retrievers. My last Golden was a therapy dog and we enjoyed weekly visits to a nearby nursing home. I have taken numerous training courses to be the best dog trainer and dog parent I can be. Ultimately I feel dogs are individuals with their own personalities and needs but that they all want love and respect. I recently adopted a sweet dachshund and he has given me a great new appreciation for small breeds. I work from home, volunteer in the community and, I am extremely reliable and respectful. I am a very active person- so any length and speed of walk is all good!
