I give alot of attention and talk to them. I rub their bellies and play fetch. I use treats to see how obedient the dogs are. I enjoy spending time with them. Some dogs are happy to see me as soon as I walk in the door. I have spent time with dogs on a boat and in the park. Boy....they enjoy ! Other people can see how effectionate I am towards them. I love watching dogs that tend to give food supervision and waiting for something to fall on the floor and clean up your mess. Its so fun to watch dogs reactions. Sometimes I give my food that I cannot eat and give them my leftovers. Dogs are very smart and very useful.
