A little about my past! I did obedience training and dog shows for 5 years! I've taken care of dog breeds ranging from teacup Yorkies to German Shephard. I'm married and have two kids at home. We have 3 outdoor cats who stay out front, and we have one German Shepherd mixed Lab named Addie. She is and indoor/outdoor dog. We own our own home with a fenced In backyard. I don't believe in physical discipline such as hitting, snout holding, etc.. I believe dogs are part of the family and should be treated as such. They deserve meals, play time and nap time. As for trainging and disobeying, the best route is calm stern commands. I love outdoor time and cuddle time! I believe every dog should have at least two - four hours a day of outdoor exercise time whether that be walking or playing fetch. Outdoor time is great for every dogs health! Dogs and pups deserve all the love and attention and your own child!!
