Most important information about working with a new dog ahead of time would be are they good around other dogs or animals, as Bella will be going on the walks, or coming to visits? This helps determine on if I need to leave her home or not. Along with what kind of training can I help provide to help over come that dogs fear or aggression. Another good thing to know is, the dog good around young kids? This helps me pick out trail walks and time of day to do a trail walk if we don't do around the neighborhood for that dog.

When I am with my animals, we are going to find a new walking areas, or maybe walking the same area, but with new paths to keep it different. We play ball, interact with other animals. When I take Bella for walks with the horse, we call it taking the ponies for walk in the woods, we go to Taylor Mountain and just do easy trails as she has short legs and the horse needs easy as she is getting older. This has inspired me to find local dog friendly trails near home along with dog friendly well kept parks that will stimulate her as she loves to smell new things while playing ball.
