Had 5 dogs so far, so I can tell most of my life, I am learning about them more and more each time and trying to understand them to make sure that they have what they need. They part of a family so there is a place for them on the couch time for a walks and some fun, lots of cuddles but also some rules. Making sure that dog will not get hurt by other dogs so be aware of surroundings, understand when dog is on the leash that might be a reason for it, recall is very important and there is time for play if others are willing to play as well, dog also has a boundaries.
