Grown up with dogs my whole life. I'm use to working with larger breeds and reactive breeds as well. My favorite dog breed is pit bulls. I have a louisiana catahoula leopard dog right now so I have gotten new experience in training independent dog breeds. Also use to work with dogs with medical conditions.

I have had two dogs at one time all of my life. I can walk them or babysit them. I can even train them to do a few easy tricks like sit, rollover, come, and stay. Or I can train them not to relieve themselves in the house (but that would take 3 months).
