experience with pets? For me it more like if the pet accepts me as their caretaker I have been known to have a uncanny sense for being able to do things with animals ex: my parents had a samoyed (they dont bark as a rule so ive heard) 1 weekend with me at our ski cottage in manning the dog was barking) In my head the dog needed to find his voice so he could tell humans what he wanted and when he needed it (to go outside someone unknown is approaching etc..) I think its more of the pet accepting me into his life for a short time but beware i bring treats so telling what is acceptable is key I would be honored if your pet accepted me into his life as a caretaker and/or if any training/walking is required once trust has been obtained pls advise of any medication if needed or if they/you allow your pet play dates and with who I live on 20 acres out by the airport I do have a lrg dog (Budder) who is gentle I think he needs a friend he has a girlfriend (Bella) in the neighborhood that comes over once a day for her treat so im contemplating adopting a rescue dog if the right one will have us
