Just being with dogs, I learned their ways and began to appreciate things from their point of view.

The dog can only become what's in your bubble. The dog is imitating the energy that is in your bubble. You are the source, the feast of energy. If you feel anxious, the dog becomes anxious with you. If you become nervous, the dog wakes up nervous with you.

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

Discipline isn't about showing a dog who's boss; it's about taking responsibility for a living creature you have brought into your world.

The reality is, if you have a high-level-energy dog, it's not going to be happy with a one-hour walk. Those types of dogs are going to require more than one hour of physical challenge in the outside world.

We're already saying it's not the dog, but you need to adopt this lifestyle which is exercise, discipline, and affection.

But just because a person goes to Harvard doesn't mean he's balanced when he graduates, and just because a dog knows how to obey doesn't mean he's balanced, either.
