I've grown up with dogs. Ever since I was a child, I always had one or more dogs at my home. Now, I have a dog of my own, in my own home. I trained her at a very young age, which has made her a respectful and well behaved dog, especially with others. She is a social butterfly, so she will be great with other dogs staying at the house. I recently decided to stray from the 9-5 desk job, so have very flexible hours. There will always be a time to take the dogs out throughout the day. As for dog walking- I'm very active and hope that long walks, runs, even hikes will make your dog happy during the day, and even tired for when you get home from a long day at the office.
