Experience: 4 yrs
I have grown up around both small and large dogs, with breeds ranging from Toy Poodles to Presa Canaries. I also have experience with horses, cows and chickens. I know how do saddle a horse, clean stables, and have been horseback riding since I was 13. I am able to milk cows and goats. I first started walking other people's dogs at the age of 9. I have experience walking Cockier Spaniels, Labs and other sporting breeds, Rottweilers, Pitt bulls, German Shepperd, Huskies, Boston Terriers, Mastiffs, Great Danes and Toy Breeds. I stated dog sitting at age 17 and have been watching and caring for the dogs of fellow individuals ever since. I am currently 20 years of age, and own three dogs myself. I have a 90lb German Shepard named Simba, a 77 lb Husky German Shepard mix named Cheerio, and a pit bull pointer mix named Walter. I used to attend dog obedience courses with Simba for three years, with lessons ranging from obedience to advanced agility training. I had to seize the training when Simba developed joint issues. I watch Caesar Milan's 911 frequently due to the fact that I always try to improve myself with beneficial training methods, and love to learn new things.
