I had my first dog, a rehomed working sheepdog, for my eleventh birthday. I couldn't wait to start training her, and fortunately the obedience club I joined saved me from making any major mistakes.Though she spent most of her days with Mum, it was me that groomed, trained, walked and fed her, and we had a bond which was almost telepathic. To be honest, I was probably a bit too posessive about her.
I believe that with dogs you get back what you put in. Be generous with your affection and your attention, do your best to understand how your dog learns, and your dog will repay you, and your family, with a lifetime of devotion.
