I grew up on a farm in rural Canada. We raised, showed and trained horses, cattle, and dogs. Since that time, my friends are always asking me to dog sit their furry friends. I have a good manner with dogs and strong discipline background. I usually end up teaching dogs some cool tricks and definitely am able to communicate effectively and maintain good walking/playing habits. We live so close to Balboa Park, I'd like to have an excuse to get out of the house and meet and exercise with the dogs in and out of the neighborhood.
