No matter what breed of dog you have, chances are you approach you have a specific ownership style when it comes down to your dog. Here are three basic approaches to dog ownership. Which one are you?

Laid Back

You believe in a more free range method of letting your dog be a dog. You let your dog off leash as much as possible, and make a point of letting him greet other dogs when ever possible. If your dog makes a mess, you’re pretty easy going about it. You’ll just clean it up and move on to the next thing.

You don’t need your dog to be a show animal to know he’s perfect. He’s everything a dog should be.

Family Style

Your dog is definitely one of the family. He even has his own closet full of clothing, and a spot on the couch. You view your dog as just as important a member as the people making up your family, and you may show that spending huge amounts of money on your pet’s own custom furniture, guchi collar, and extra grooming.

When vacation roles around, you take your dog with you just like a member of the family—and if he can’t go for whatever reason, yo find him a resort of his own to enjoy.

Professional

You care a lot about your dog, and value spending time with him. This is evident by the amount of training you have lavished on your dog. While other dogs are collapsing displays at the pet store with their super extended flexis, your dog is sitting quietly by your side.

Weekends are spent competing, and evenings spent at classes teaching your dog fun new things. There’s no doubt you have the best dog. You’ve got a whole wall of awards and certifications to prove it.

Everyone is a little different in how they approach showing love for their dog. You may show it by having a full room of awards for your pet, or not expecting anything of him at all. Dog ownership is different no matter who you are.
