My name is Beth, I grew up on a little hobby farm just outside of Canberra, growing up I worked a lot with farm animals and had quite a few dogs. I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I helped my parents train our 3 German Shorthaired pointers and have done quite a bit of dog sitting for family friends when they wish to travel. I've cared for dogs with heart conditions and puppies who are still figuring out their surroundings. I don't believe in hitting animals or any form of physical punishment, in my mind the best way to deal with bad behaviors is to correct them, if the dog is trying to get to food that's out then that food needs to be put away if a dog is jumping they need to have a quiet space to calm down or to go outside to release built up adrenaline.
