It's not the breed that makes a good companion. All dogs are great companions.

Dog's owners don't call me. It's their neighbors or family members. We call them the whistleblowers, but it's more like the pack. It's making sure that one pack member gets in line. Before it was the owners, now it's the community.

People who live in the now; those people make things happen.

Many dogs grow up without rules or boundaries. They need exercise, discipline and affection in that order.
