While in middle school I began walking my neighbors dog and than watched their dog frequently when they went away on trips. I still watch their dog for days at a time about two to three times a year. I have owned one dog of my own and recently just got my own puppy which I have done the majority of the training. I do real well with puppies and really enjoy working with them. I love all dogs, from small to big. I look forward to becoming friends with your fuzzy family member.
