I enjoy providing not just excercise but manners and dicipline with the dogs. I believe a well trained dog is a fun and safe member of the family Ultimately I would try to follow the lead of the family,on how to work with the rules they have set. if they need guidance I'm happy to work out a plan of action on how to be consistent with the family's wishes on how they want their dog to be treated. I do think that a well excersised dog is easier to train and more fun for both my and the family. Dogs who are not trained in the basics can put both me and the dog in dangerous positions. That is why I always have tools and treats that woudl distract all parties and be safe.
