I have a pup of my own who turned 3 in March so I know how to deal with crate training, basic commands, potty training and teething. I have grown up with dogs my whole life ranging from poodles to hound mutts to German shepherds. I'm well rounded and have the patience for dogs to get used to me and get to know me.
