I have owned dogs my entire life. When I was younger I cared for my grandmothers 2 pet chihuahuas. Not much grooming but I gave them plenty of exercise. As I grew up I had 2 chocolate labs that I would care for on walks and brushing their teeth. Lately my dad got a pet Shiba Inu. If you know anything about Shiba Inu's it's that they are tough to control. But if you are around them enough and they understand that they won't always get their way. I found that out on several walks with him and he eventually warmed up to me. Lastly I've been taking care of my mother's poodle while she worked. He requires hair cuts, exercise and plenty of love. I've handled many a dog before and just love being around them. My schedule is flexible and you're free to contact me at any time. I will work around your schedule. As you can see I have been around small, medium, and semi-large dogs my whole life and have been adept in taking care of them and learning about their specific attitudes and care needs.
