Dogs have always been a part of my life. A german shepherd was my night watch as an infant. My family has always had large dogs and these dogs have always been a member of our family. I currently have six dogs in my home and these dogs are my children. My life would be nothing if I did not have dogs. I enjoy taking our dogs to the park and walking them and also throwing a tennis ball for them. It is a pleasure to spend time with these animals. I find it very relaxing to watch the dogs play. Positive reinforcement is the only way to work with a dog. Puppy kisses are the best gift. A happy dog is a happy owner.
