My doggo philosophy is to treat them almost like humans. They need structure and boundaries, regular physical activity and learning. Topped with a whole hell of a lot of loving and doggy pats! Growing i had a dog named Tess. She was a terrier lab mix who was the sweetest little girl ever. We taught her tricks she loved the water. Unfortunately she passed 5 years ago but i miss having a dog. Availible mostly day time as I work in a restaurant. LOVE BIG DOGGOS! Can brush, cut nails and pamper your pooch! I do believe you can teach and old dog new tricks and i will probably try. Catching treats, shaking paw, rolling over anything i can think off! I will not let a dog pull on a leash on our walks. But i will encourage squirrel chasing and the like!
