I've lived with dogs all my life from the day I was born. I love all animals but dogs bring so much joy... they're a best friend.. a family member. I've owned a few dogs over the years, big and small... young and old... naughty and nice. I've also took dogs in who have become unwanted and kept them untill a good home has come up, all of which I'm still in touch with.. I visit regularly and I walk one of them with my dog twice a week. I also walk 2 other dogs for a friend and a family member with my dog at the local park. I meet up with othet dog walkers almost every day so that our dogs can ... just be dogs. My dog is a New Zealand Huntaway. He was born May 2017, he's over sociable and loves sharing his walks and his home with all dogs of any age and size as long as they like him too. He's very good with other dogs, he has no aggression in him at all... he runs away from dogs who play to rough. My cats are the boss with my dog and they stay out the way when othetr dogs are in the house. They're not dog lovers but they are tollorent. I love walking with dogs and my dog is almost a well trained dog. I always use time, patience, treats and praise... never punishment with my dog as I believe it's always going to work better. In my home... pets are family, they can have my sofa and my bed if they want unless a visiting dogs owner says no in which case I would respect the owners wishes but I feel comfort is always good.
