I got my first dog in 2013, a Weimaraner. He taught me a lot of being a pet owner. I understand the importance of a good diet, a good amount of exercise, as well as dog language. I know the impact of having rest time before and after meals when exercise is involved. If they’re active dogs, I know running exercises are good but impact activities such as jumping could affect their hips. I know how to keep their teeth and ears clean, as well as the key to avoid excessive shedding is brushing their coats constantly. I am also able to potty train puppies and teach them basic commands like sitting, waiting, going to their bed or crate, or leaving stuff they shouldn’t grab or eat. Of course this is not done in one day and consistency is key for training a puppy. Senior dogs are not as active any more but they still require gentle walks, potty breaks, and of course, respecting their own space since they enjoy some peace and quite.
