Once trained two kittens to swim. No lie! They jumped in every time I ran the bath. I have more experience with cats than dogs, but most dogs love me right away. I like to let a dog lead some and don't keep the leash too tight so he feels empowered. Ruff! I love grooming dogs because they love it. Walk them often. I even trained all of my cats to come on walks with me, just like a dog. No lie! So if you need someone to love and pamper your furry friends, I would welcome the opportunity with so much joy. Thank you for your time.
