I have dogs my entire life, I have a dog now, its all about giving the proper attention and exercise. A good 20 minutes to important to let that energy out. Its important the dog has manners just like humans. The dog listens when called, sits when asked, and I have jumpers. I have a wonderful dog, I snap my fingers and I have her attention, I tell her No, and she immediately stops. When walking I watched a lot of Cesar Milan videos, he is great with positive reinforcement, and just give the dog a nudge when something is wrong they are doing. I taught my dog from young, and she is 10 years old now , I couldn't ask for a better dog. I love dogs, and I would love to take care of your pet just as if they were my own!!!
