I have owned my dog, Teddy, for 9 years and have looked after friend's and family's dogs. I find that a lot of dogs listen to me when I use a stern voice. A lot of dogs also love me because I give them so much attention. I find dogs very easy to train and to take care of. It just comes naturally. When sitting dogs, I usually stay longer than required to play with them. I stick to food plans and regularly take them out for walks or to play fetch outside. Dogs area part of the family and deserve as much love and attention as we have to offer them. They are definitely my favorite animal by far! I always treat them kindly, with love and respect.
