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

I'll believe it if I see it" for dogs translates to "I'll believe it if I smell it." So don't bother yelling at them; it's the energy and scent they pay attention to, not your words.

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

Dogs experience the world as it is, without judgement. When we learn to do the same, we make the world a better place.

Little dogs bite more than big dogs but they get away with it.

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.

Give your dog something to do before you share food, water, toys or affection. This way the dog earns his treat. For example, have him or her perform the "sit" or "down" command.
