I have a 13 year old American Eskimo which he thinks his a puppy because I take good care of him. I give him vitamins he gets plenty of walks, he loves to play hide and seek. I trained and walked my neighbors puppy till the age of 3 years old we would go on trails and parks, she learned to walk without a leash and cross the street on my command. I've always had dogs around me, when I lived in Colombia my family owned several dogs and we would show them in shows and would come out in the newspaper. I was also able to train military dogs deborman and German shepherds and some beagles. If I would have a farm I would pick up all stray dogs, clean them and make them a home with me.
