We're your average folk who are dog crazy. About the house and care: We live on a quarter acre with a 5 foot tall chain link fence. My husband and I often work staggered schedules, so someone would typically be home with the dogs for most hours of the day. We have 2 dogs, a cat, and a bunny. My husband does a lot of studying with regards to dog training and dog psychology, so he's really good with knowing how the initial greetings and overall dog mood is. We would make sure the pooches get at least two thirty minute walks throughout the day as well as additional play/training time. One of our favorite activities to do with dogs is nose work; every dog we've watched has always loved nose work.
