I have had dogs and cats in my life as long as I can remember. I love all animals and while living in Texas volunteered at two horse rescues. The owners were always impressed with my rapport with animals. Also, my daughter has two great danes and a golden retriever which I have cared for when they would go on vacation. My schedule is very flexible as I am retired. I would want to know their favorite toys. Are they permitted treats. One dog I owned in the past I trained myself and had excellent results and I would be happy to reinforce your dog's training. Also, I watch many of the dog training shows on tv and know it is important to be consistent in using commands they are familiar with.
