I have house trained and crate trained two puppies. I have basic behavior training and other basic dog training. I have mild knowledge of pet first aid. I am knowledgeable of grooming needs and techniques. I know that every pet owner has different rules for their animals, and I am willing to ensure that your dog follows your rules while in my care. I also will follow all instructions for nutrition and discipline. I am a very active person, I hike run and bike. I like to play catch and other games. I enjoy being around dogs of various activity levels. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and sizes of dogs. I Have a newborn daughter who is around dogs frequently (we are a dog loving family, we just don't have any of our own right now). I usually baby-wear her when tending to dogs or have her in her own space. For overnights my husband tends to her so I won't have her with me.
