I'm not afraid of dogs, even when they're first meeting me. I maintain my composure, and allow our furry friend to talk, sniff and lick to get accustomed to me. Full of overflowing love, but can still give a stern command if needed :). To me dogs are family members, full of personality with needs to be met. I'm willing to learn and accomodate those needs. Find doggy sass hilarious; they’re just so quirky and cute. I will play with them and expend their energy, but also tell them when enough is enough if they're going a bit too far. Will get a talk or time out sit/lay down if naughty, but that won't hinder any of the unconditional love I have to give them!
