My name is Lucille and I have 20 years experience with Dog ownership. I have owned 4 German Shepherds and a lab mix during this time. In regards to training, I take the "Nothing in Life is Free" approach when working with my dogs; they must perform some sort of task before any sort of reward, whether it be going outside, getting a treat, getting attention, etc. Owning a powerful breed of dog, I've taken great pride in learning and implementing different training techniques through the years, and introducing them as young pups to as many new people and places as possible to explore the world and become good canine citizens. I especially love cuddle time in the evening when they are tired from the days activities! What I love most about dogs is that they do not judge, they provide unconditional love and are the most loyal creatures on this planet.
