- I will socialize my dog via exposure to new people, places and other dogs.
- I will take pride in my dog's appearance with regular grooming.
- I will recognize the necessity of basic training by teaching my dog to reliably sit, stay and come when called.
- I will take my dog to the vet regularly and keep all vaccinations current.
- I will pick-up and properly dispose of my dog's waste.
I will make sure my dog is regarded as an AKC Canine Good Citizen by being aware of my responsibilities to my neighbors and to the community.
- I will ensure that the proper amount of exercise and mental stimulation appropriate for my dog's age, breed and energy level is provided.
