I pay extra attention to your pet when it's home sick or feeling down. Not all pets are the same so I adapt to their personalities. I don't believe in rough discipline or ignoring because a pet has feelings too and eventually they will warm up to you but most like me immediately. I have two chihuahuas myself that spend half the day in my arms or wrestling with Mr claw. I dress them bathe them and even brush teeth. All of our pets live to be 15 years or older if that gives you an idea of how well taken care of animals are in my arms. Some puppies require bottle feeding and I'm ok with that. I even whelp pregnant dogs of low risk.
