It’s good to know how the dog is likely to react in certain situations. Like for example if guests or a postman arrives at the house. How the dog might react when meeting other dogs. When the dog prefers to eat and sleep and will the dog prefer to sleep with us or alone.

West Ham park is rather a nice park for the dogs to run around. As part of our daily ritual a morning walk through the park is first stop sometimes followed by a coffee at the local cafe. At home we have a large open plan downstairs area with French doors leading to the garden. In the warmer weather these can be left open because we have a high fence enclosed garden. We love to let the dogs sit with us whenever possible. Very rarely would the dog be left alone. Only when a trip to the supermarket or post office is needed.
