I've had taken care of my own pet since I was eight years old. With the help of my family I was able to learn al ot about how dogs have thier own unique personalities. How they can communicate with us and how they bond with us in thier own ways. I believe that much like meeting a new person, you just have to sit done and get to know a dog as they get to know you. I've taken cared of family and friends pets, I would make sure to write down everything the dog needs: like when they should take thier pills, what they need to go to sleep at night, when they should have a walk and all the likes of that.
