In America, dogs are viewed by their names first, breed second. And dogs live behind walls. It's an unnatural point of view.

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

On walks, make sure that your dog is not in front of you, pulling you down the street. Instead, keep your dog to your side or behind you. This will also demonstrate to your dog that you are the alpha figure.

There is no such thing as a problem breed. However, there is no shortage of 'problem owners'.

Dogs help you to appreciate the world around you. They smell the ground so intensely. They look at the trees as though they are seeing them for the first time. It helps us to remember the wonders that we take for granted.

Whenever I've been bitten, it's because I made a mistake. I either misread the dog's body language or let my guard down at the wrong time.

America focuses on being very intelligent because that's how you make more money.
