Such an amazing comment by Cesar on the night and day difference he immediately noticed in the way Americans humanize our dogs as opposed to where he grew up in Mexico. I accept what he says about the needs of our beloved dogs that I acknowledge I have not fulfilled by playing in our large suburban yard vs an hour walk daily. There is no legitimate excuse I can give - and this will change tonight.
Guilty as charged letting all 4 big dogs jump all over me licking my face when I enter the house after a long day at work, I must permit them to stop and calm themselves before letting my pack greet me. This will be a challenge, I love their raw energy and love after an hour+ in traffic!
I learned a lot,there's much I didn't like to hear BUT that's my own fault for humanizing my dogs. I have 3 grown children but I've treated my dogs like a sibling or best friend my entire life. We should always embrace change, especially when it will help our dogs that we love so dearly. Now we'll see if you can teach an old man some new tricks, Cesar.
