one has to give a great deal of oneself to animals if one is to get the best out of them.

When I breathe down my nose to say how do you do to a horse, it can hear that breath at anything up to twenty yards, for horses have the most acute sense of hearing.

There is no such thing as a difficult dog, only an inexperienced owner.

I do not believe that a dog can be cured by a psychiatrist, but I think some owners could be helped by one.

Talking to animals' isn't a matter of words used, it is a matter of your thoughts, your expression, and above all the tone of your voice. A harsh voice from me can make my cows jump in terror. I shouted at old Queenie once and she got such a shock that she fell down just as if she'd been shot.

The dog has an enviable mind; it remembers the nice things in life and quickly blots out the nasty.
