Hello my names Rafaela I've grown up in a house hold with animals as a child, we had 5 dogs at home, 3 cats and my grandad had two cadged monkeys whilst i was still living back home and our animals were not just our "pets" they more more like family and so they got treated with the same love and care keeping in mind dogs and animals have their own nature. I never take my dog out without having her harness and leash, i had her microchipped as soon as i got her, i take my dog out for daily walks ( twice to three times a day) as i've got a garden also that she loves running around in! I'd say i've got a great level to experience with animals, I've currently got two of my own a nine months puppy and a nearly 2 years old cat, whenever my friends or family come around my home first thing they ask if "how are they so friendly?!" and id say thats simply because i keep my "babies" happy, i engage with them all the time, whenever were out for walks or she's coming along on a journey with me of course i'm very cautions for her security but i like to always get her so come to people let them pet her so she's used to it and doesn't seem frightened every time a stranger touches/approches her. I also reward my babies with treats every time they do as their told, or just do something i take as intelligent or good as i want them to know that i do acknowledge their progress!.
