I have a friendly, caring nature and love dogs. Over a year ago I rescued a maltipoo, named Bug, who is part of my family. When I was younger I used to walk dogs in the neighborhood in FL. My tone is firm but nice. My normal routine is walking the dog in the morning, either at the park or in the yard. Go back to the house and have breakfast. Then play a little before relaxing a little at the house with lunch. Then out again walk to the park and have a nice leisurely walk back. I can also do some minor dog training if need be i.e. sit and stay. I use positive reinforcement and have treats in house as well as dental bones.
