It becomes very obvious, by reading a dog, how stable or unstable his human companion is. Our dogs are our mirrors.

I believe a calm dog is a happy, obedient dog that won't get into trouble.

Change takes effort. And the reality is, most people don't want to put in effort to better their life.

It's a big mistake when encyclopedias say "loyal" - this dog, this breed has this ability to be loyal, to be a one person dog. I don't agree with that. I think all dogs are honest, all dogs have integrity, all dogs are loyal and they're all capable of loving you. It doesn't come from the breed. It comes from the dog.

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

I don't believe in ever putting a dog down for behavior issues, because that's just punishing the dog for something wrong that humans did.

I believe in integrity. Dogs have it. Humans are sometimes lacking it.
