I've trained my own dog to be obedient and do a few basic tricks. I've owned my cat, Bristol, for 6 years along with a few miscellaneous kittens. And of course I can't live without my fish, Jasper. (:

Ever since I was little, I have trained my dogs to do everything from sitting on fire hydrants and jumping through hoops to simple things like not jumping up on new people. I have helped care for big dogs, little dogs, three-legged dogs (like my dog tripod), and everything in between, so I'm up for any task!

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...
