I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My aspirations are to own or work for a dog care/training business. I volunteer part time at a local pet shelter. I look forward to helping dogs find good homes. My dogs at home are treated the same as my kids, full of love, exercise, and joy! I stay at home while my boys are away at school. My communication with animals is strong, but firm. Lots of belly rubs and kisses to go around. I believe every animal has their own personality so you need to let it shine through. My neighborhood is also quiet and dog friendly. I also live nearby two parks so there is lots of opportunity to take the dogs for long walks.
