I absolutely adore my dogs, but I know that just loving them is not enough to maintain a mutually satisfying and happy relationship between pet and human.

Dogs do not automatically understand which behaviors are acceptable and which are not. Puppies need to be taught not to bite fingers, to eliminate outside and not on the carpet, and other important manners. As the person responsible for my canine friends lives I need to be as informed as possible about their needs and alert to any changes or health concerns so that I can act on their behalf. Thankfully, with access to training and behavioral experts, veterinarians and other knowledgeable folks, we can all provide better care to our best friends.

All the sites on this page are favorites of mine, bookmarked and visited frequently – and it is my hope that they will be of assistance to you.
