I have owned dogs since I was a young boy. I understand dogs, and all of my dogs have been well trained by me. Understanding dog breeds are an essential part of understanding the dog. I currently work from home throughout the day and can pretty much set my own schedule and have lots of time for walking your dog/s With my own pets, I always saw that they were mentally occupied when I wasn't around. Then when I was around, I made sure they felt like part of the family.
