I grew up taking care of my family's dogs. They were hunting dogs and my dad taught me commands and taught me how to walk them. I currently have a 20 month old chocolate lab and he is the best. Me and my husband have taken great pride in training him from he was very little. I walk dogs as a small gig. 2 to 3 hours a day tops. I love dogs and they seem to like me too.We live in a townhouse right next to a lake where I walk my dog around 1-2 times a day but I also walk him 2-3 times for 10-15 min. We are a friendly family who loves animals. We are looking forward to dogsitting your precious pup:)
