I have grown up with cats, dogs, and fish. I have also owned frogs and turtles, I love being with animals all the time. I have had young to old dogs along with training animals with behavioral issues and medical issues. I'm not afraid of bathing and training dogs in the way the pet parents prefer. Like I said I have dealt with dogs with behavioral issues and that includes anxiety and aggression. I do have a cat named Lucy but she probably won't be around the dogs. Lucy has abandonment problems and anxiety so she has a separate safe place. I dog sat 5 dogs in one house multiple times and I loved every minute of it.
