pets are family... you treat them with respect and love them unconditionally. I had a siberian husky who has a lot of energy, so I can take care of any dog breed and all levels of energy, I manage to train all of my huskies, male, female and their puppies. I had to learn everything, from breed behavior and tendencies, diets and exercise, perosanal likes of the dog and most of all, you have to love them not only when it is convinient to you, but you have to love them all the time. I believe I will be a great sitter and dog walker because I love to do these things, I like spending time with dogs because they are genuin and honest. You can never hide a secret from a dog! They are also our teachers! That is what I learned from mine. I hope can learn more from your dogs too!
