Humans will always tell you the story. Dogs can only tell you the truth. Trust your instincts and listen your dog.

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.

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

Think about a dog’s ability to forgive. This to me is love.

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.

You don't always get the dog you want, but you get the dog that you need.

Americans are very big about loving the dog first, so when you tell them you have to set rules and limitations, a lot of people believe it's going to hurt their feelings. They're actually looking for you to be the pack leader.
