Hello, my name is Ieva . I and my husband own white Swiss shepherd dog Lumis. I have been training him since he was 3 months old. He is not perfect, but I should say that he is pretty well behaved dog :) When I'm teaching him something new I use only positive reinforcement method. Our Lumis is active boy, so we are taking at least one hour walk in the evenings and about 30 min in the mornings on workdays (I'm not counting potty-brakes). We spend much more time outdoor on weekends. Would be great if your dog feels comfortable in a car, because we are taking walks in different parks around our area. And we have a cat. The cat is the boss at our home :) :) If your dog is active and has nothing against cats - our home will be great place for him!
