We’ve got a lot of dogs – six, to be exact. And a cat. Four of our dogs are over 15, two eight and under – and they’re all family and they’re all spoiled. Rotten. Rotten. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Disclaimer: I’m not a dog trainer, or a vet tech, or a vet, or someone who has any formal training in dealing with dogs. I just love them, and I kinda like to think I understand them, and I make it work with our pack. I think we take a common sense approach, we focus on routines and fun, and they get a lot of treats. We make them leave our 15-year-old cat alone. We always go outside with them (even though our yard is fenced). We make sure they line up politely for their treats. We shower them with love and talk to them and THAT is what is most important – that your dogs feel safe, protected, cared for and loved.
