My name is Gifford and I Love Dogs. I have always dealt with or owned large breeds; German Shepard, Bull Mastiff, Mastiff, Akita and Great Dane etc. They want to just have a lot of fun and be loved. Dogs will obey as long as they have someone that cares and loves them. You must have daily activities for your pet. If I'm walking I will need to add a slight jog. Dogs want to have fun.
