Breed Characteristics
While all dogs are individuals, and will have their own specific character, most breeds of dog do come with certain 'in-built' behavioral traits.
These traits are related to the work that the dogs were originally 'designed' to do.
The most successful dog friendly gardens usually provide areas in which the dog can engage in its 'natural' behavior.
For some dogs this means space to dash around at high speed. Others will appreciate a space to burrow and dig in the soil.
Others will have a love of water and take every opportunity to splash about in puddles.
It is useful to be aware of the particular instinctual behaviors developed in your own dog's breed, and to take these into account when designing your garden.
Lots of information about specific dog breeds is available online, and it is a good idea to invest in at least one book about your own particular chosen breed
