All animals are their own individuals with different styles - and I love learning each and every one :) While walking with dogs there is fine line between being walked by the dog and walking in tandem with the dog… i prefer to allow the dog to seek their own path… allowing sniffing is very key to their development and orientation. I also wipe paws and provide treats and water as needed on walks… When with cats - I listen to their feline nature and can interpret meows/slow blinking and learning their signals whilst feeding and cleaning litter etc…I’ve had lots of fun with cats jumping on my back and head as play -I listen for purrs and love when cats give head nudges affection;)
