Availability, snuggling, walks, treats, lots of play time, having fun, no restrictions on the furniture. I truly believe that dogs are not just a dog they are part of the family and when they hurt we hurt just like a child. They are full time responsibility need attention and most importantly love. When you gave a dog small or medium they need to be able to play and run around and enjoy themselves. Dogs are great company they are also good for kids in the terms of learning to sharing and putting away your toys if you don't want the dog to ruin it and also teaches kids what is allowed and not allowed when it comes to the tail, paws, barking, taking a toy away and why this behavior is acceptable or not acceptable.
