I have owned a shih/tzu/Maltese breed up until he was 15 years old. I now have 2 young puppies. My cattle dog is now 1 years old and has been in intermediate training for 3 months. I have learned a lot on how to manage behaviours to teaching basic commands. I have a rescue puppy from Texas and within a month I have her walking well on a leash and sitting on command. I work part time and am able to spend a lot of time with my pups who I adore.
