I haven't had any paid experience but I do have experience with taking care of my own dogs. I'm a pit bull advocate and have owned a red nose for 11 years before his passing. Now I have a 10-month-old blue nose pit bull that I love, train and walk by myself. I also have a chihuahua who is 11 and had since childhood :)
