I have had dogs most of my life and currently have an 8-month-old little Havanese who is a service dog. In training him myself I have learned a lot for sure. I've also developed games to keep him interested and occupied. My preference is to care for local smaller dogs who would enjoy interacting and have fun with my Leo!
