What's your favorite breed?
I love big breed dogs so my bully babies and mastiffs

Overtime overarousal, high frustration, low impulse control behaviors have become my bread and butter. So the ones typical associated with bully and mastiff breeds haha.

Touch. I think it's an incredibly easy cue for any dog to learn and can be use in a wide variety of situations.
