I love to play with dogs and help them feel comfortable in any situation. I also keep them clean and grooming. My old dog used to sleep with me on my bed. I don't mind if your dog would like to be that close to me, as long as they are clean enough. My dog was trained well and can understand many phrases. I am very patient and loving to animals. I know small dogs are mostly more anxious when they are in new environment, but I have successfully become familiar with my friend's dog Pookie very quickly. Pookie likes to bite people, but after 2 days of my sitting, he listens to what ever I say. I know how to teach a small dog.
