I have owned 1 or 2 dogs consistently for the past 20 years. I treat my dogs as if they are the most valuable, trusted and loved creatures in the world. I take my dogs everywhere I can with me. I walk my dog for 1+ hours in the morning and usually for at least an hour at night. Plus additional outdoor breaks throughout the day. I am very responsible with dogs and keep them on leash unless we are in a safe off leash area. I will follow your dogs lead in terms of their comfort level socializing with other dogs. It is always a pure joy for me to be surrounded by multiple dogs and if they like to cuddle I love it!
