I love my dogs and I give them affection all the time but it has to be at the right time or they get confused.

Dogs do know how comfortable you are with yourself, how happy you are, how fearful you are, and what is missing inside of you.

It's an up and down thing, the human goals, because the human is always an explorer, an adventurist.

Humans will always tell you the story. Dogs can only tell you the truth. Trust your instincts and listen your dog.

Dogs help you to appreciate the world around you. They smell the ground so intensely. They look at the trees as though they are seeing them for the first time. It helps us to remember the wonders that we take for granted.

Some dogs could play fetch all day long, while others have absolutely no interest in chasing a ball. Some might love "find the treat" type puzzle toys and others may completely ignore them. The important things are that your dog finds the toy interesting without becoming obsessed over it, and that it is size and safety appropriate for your dog. A Chihuahua is probably not going to be a good match to a Kong as big as she is, and you wouldn't want to risk having your Malamute swallow one of those smaller size tennis balls.

There are a lot of things that people are doing unconsciously wrong.
