Teaching dogs right from wrong, & using a reward system with treats & love is the way to go! Fun tricks are so easy to teach -with a little time & effort, plus patience, of course!! I just love caring for dogs, they're my favorite!!! I've taught my dogs to sit, stay/wait, lay down, roll over, play dead, shake, high five, wave & "dance" is the funnest one :) Also, figure eight is a fun one as well, especially if your dog is high energy! I love ALL dogs of ALL sizes ! I have fully trained & potty trained my friend & uncle's Siberian Huskys when they needed a caregiver for their pups for about 4 months, which was a bit more of a challenge, but soo worth it! I've interacted with just about every breed out there. All in all, dogs are the BEST & I would love to meet yours & help in whatever way I can! :)
