I will go by your dogs schedule and be consistent, dogs love routine, good for me and dog both, I will treat your dog with the same care I give mine, and they are well cared for, I have 2 big dogs and 1 little, they are my family and they have a routine that they make me live by or else they will let me know when it's time to go to the dog run, I don't like going where there are other dogs, I bring mine to a secluded fenced area where no other dogs will be at the time I am there with mine, I think it's dangerous to rely on others as to how their dogs will behave around mine, I just don't trust bringing my dogs around dogs I know nothing about, their temperament, health, etc. My dogs get my full attention, If you could see mine, you will see that I spoil them, they are happy campers.
