I have owned and trained dogs my entire life. My fur-baby is a 7 year old brindle boxer boy name Jo-Jo. In our household, dogs are a part of the family. That means they get love and attention, they get to enjoy the couch (and occasionally the bed), and a few treats each day. Dogs deserve the outdoors the most. I walk my dog 4 times a day (since I don't have a fenced-in backyard) and have come to enjoy the long walks. Dogs are meant to be outdoors where they can get fresh air, get their energy out, use the bathroom, and smell all the scents. Daily play time is a must and I even enjoy teaching dogs tricks. Dogs bring such joy and balance to my life!
