I love to cuddle with Small dogs under 20lbs, sit with me on the sofa & I pet or comb their fur! Bigger size dogs, I sit with them on the floor....I'm retired & stay home but I do visit my 90yr old mother at the Assistedl Living 4 times a week during lunch, so I require dogs to be crated while I'm gone from 12-2pm. I don't approve of yelling & nose slapping if dogs misbehave. Dogs have hearts & are sensitive to tone of voice & smiles! I'm a grandma so I spoil my dogs like I do my grandchildren, therefore they look forward to my care! My dogs must be current in their vaccinations, extremely important for my safety & my visitors!!!
