1 Idea - on the leading edge
Every dog is different, and you will know your dog better than others. When you notice your dog is uncomfortable, like looking away, avoiding a person or situation, be their advocate. After all, you provide access to everything: safety, exercise, food, water, play and medical care. A rewarding responsibility.
