I have had dogs all my life. I've done training with dogs and have all different breeds. I currently have an old cockapoo who is very spoiled and human like. I work at a kennel for the county part time. Most important thing any dog owner wants is someone to love and care for their pet like they do.

I have watched many family/friends pets mostly dogs for years. I'm very patient and kind with all animals. Very active with them and can train them with basic needs like fetching. Will definitely be active with your animal and show them the love they deserve.

I have lots of experience with dogs. Being a dog lover, I've had dogs my entire life. I have trained the last two dogs I've owned myself. They could do recall, go to their place and go into a down while I ate. They healed instead of pulling and one even competed and won ribbons in the dog ring. So, while I watch your dog, I...
