In my life I've had 3 dogs ranging from big to small in size. One of my dogs was a rescue dog who was badly treated and with this came alot of problems and adaptations that I had to make to ensure the dog was comfortable; thus giving the skill set to handle difficult dogs. My current dog I've had since he was a puppy allowing me to train him and get use to handling a puppy. I've also looked after my grandads crazy puppy when he was away, he was a handful, but through this experience I've gained patience and understanding when it comes to looking after a more energetic dog.
