I have grown up with dogs all my life. They have always been cared for as a member of the family. For the past five years, I have worked in a rescue shelter environment for dogs and cats. I have dealt with just about any situation imaginable. We have had several puppy mill dogs come in, where they have never been touched or seen the light of day. I have experience gaining their trust, learning what love and compassion is. Teaching them how to be a "dog." I have experience in administering medications, liquid and pill form. I have experience in physical therapy for a variety of recoveries. I have experience in basic dog training., working with varying personalities, and behavioral modifications. I have experience with tiny dogs, all the way up to giant dogs. I love them all and treat them as if they are my own. I have a flexible schedule and follow instructions accordingly.
