When I go and work with people, I never say, 'Your dog is changed for the rest of its life.' It's like a diet. You've got to maintain a discipline and ritual in your life to keep a certain figure.

Denial,they say, stands for"Don't even notice I am lying." Human beings are the only animals who are happily lied to by our own minds about what is actually happening around us.

I love my dogs and I give them affection all the time but it has to be at the right time or they get confused.

I'm naturally a loud person. It can be a bit overpowering.

The more you think you have to use physical force to control life, the less you control life.

Often we blame the breed, but in my opinion, it's not the breed, it's the owner. The owner has to be the pack leader and provide exercise, discipline, then affection. If you do that, you'll have a sweet, loving, and balanced dog - no matter what breed!

When a dog is balanced, you are going to enjoy a true friend.
