Attention, Activity, Play. Every dog has (insert your dogs name here) their own needs but they are all pretty basic. Feed them, walk them, play with them - to their ability level. I like the larger breads but all dogs are cool. I truly have affection for our K-9 friends and love to see them happy and healthy. Dogs are always a good addition to any walk or hike. Dogs are highly social pack animals. My preference is to include the K-9 in all possible / practical activities. Younger dogs are great because they are a blank slate. Positive reinforcement, patience and plenty of activity usually help. I like dogs like I like people, lets be friendly and have fun. I always like meeting new K-9's
