I have had at least two dogs my entire life of varying ages and breeds. I love both big and small dogs. I never get tired of playing with them as well. I have experience with both low energy lap dogs and wild restless herding dogs and love and appreciate both equally. I have no problem going on casual strolls or decent jogs depending on the dogs preference. I love getting down and playing on the dogs level as well. I have no problem getting dirty with them. I have trained every one of my dogs personally and love teaching simple tricks as well. I'm aware that every dog owner has their own preferences in how their dog should behave and how they should be handled and am more than happy to take any advice on your dogs own preferences.
