I have had dogs my entire life. I recently adopted a chihuahua x dachshund named Kobe. He is a year old. I believe in positive reinforcement. Exercising a dog doesn't just mean walking, it also means playing with and engaging with exciting mental activities like basic trick training etc. I have watched a dog for 6 months on two separate occasions for someone who is in the navy. I love to be outside walking and so does Kobe, so he is always happy to join on a walk!
