I've owned four dogs so far. The first two were a lab-pitbull mix and a German shepherd-border collie mix. Now I currently own two terrier mixes. They have all come from the pound so I have experience training dogs and my parents pretty much left all the walking to my siblings and I. I live near Marine Park and have taken my friendlier dogs there a lot. None of them could be trusted off the leash but they still always had a good time. I also don't mind running with a dog at all, if the owner wants me to or if the dog is young enough for it. I've pretty much had a dog since I was 5 and I've never had any negative injuries from one.
