You will first recognize how comfortable your dog or cat becomes around me. I tend to spend a nice amount of time bonding with the animal to earn his/her trust and from that point on just allow the animals natural energy to flow with its own curiosities about its surroundings. My house is open so there is a good amount of space to roam. My backyard is fenced in with a privacy fence running along the back and side but because of the current weather all anmilas will only come outside for potty breaks and walking time however if they are well coated and energetic , they may play outside as much as their owner wishes. Lastly , I take care of animals with my heart
