Even though I never went to school to study animal behavior, I feel like I have an above average ability to communicate with dogs and cats. We understand each other. I love to love on them - so soft - it brings down everybody's blood pressure when you pet an animal. I like providing the piece of mind to the pet that they are not forgotten and I have their back as their surrogate human to provide love. I prefer little dogs - that way I can walk, and they can run if they want. If the large dogs needs to be run - I'm not so much a runner. I would rather just 'hike'. Please tell me what experience you would like your dog to have. Is getting excersize important? I'll be a little more bossy and a personal trainer. Or just a leisurly smell tour - where we check for doggie pee-mail? I can also sleep with them at night - some of my clients dogs love to spoon! Love it!
