I understand gods needs through their behavior and facial (eyes and ears) expression. I know which foods dogs can not eat. I understand social behavior between dogs on the street. And I love to cuddle and have fun with a ball or a toy. Prtsonally I owned a dog when I lived in my parents house. Then, when I started living on my own I god sat a sweet spaniel for my friends. Now I partake in taking care of German shepherd with my girlfriend. That's how I know all the tricks. I work full time so can drop by at 8:30 and 5:30, but weekends will be completely free and dedicated to your dog. So on the weekends I can come by 3 times. I have 2 kind children who love dogs and play with German shepherd all the time. So you dog will be safe and happy.
