I grew up surrounded by dogs; in my family, we all had different dogs, with different personalities. Therefore, I managed to get a great experience and knowledge from all of them.
Especially with my first dog Layla (a scottish sheppherd) that grew up with me, we had a great relationship.
The lesson that she gave to me is that whenever we are happy with them, they will be happy as well.
Now I live with my girlfriend and her dog, while my family in Italy has 2 dogs as well. They are all parts of my life. I would definitely say that my favourite hobby is playing with them, giving them attention and love; however, when it is needed I do my best to be a strict teacher in order to teach them the best behaviours. I like doing this with a solar attitude and as patiently as possible, for the best learning process.
Dogs are my life and I think that they are the real booster of happines in our lives.
