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

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

Puppies and kids naturally go together, but it's up to the adults to teach them how to do it the right way.

On walks, make sure that your dog is not in front of you, pulling you down the street. Instead, keep your dog to your side or behind you. This will also demonstrate to your dog that you are the alpha figure.

It's an up and down thing, the human goals, because the human is always an explorer, an adventurist.

The funny thing is, when a Harley-Davidson guy full of tattoos comes out with a Maltese, they're trying to soften themselves out. When a very soft, single lady with a tailored look comes out with a Rottweiler, she’s looking for protection, for strength. Society automatically views the guy as too strong so he brings a Maltese. It's just a natural way to balance your situation. It really depends.

Always walk out the door ahead of your dog when leaving the house. This will show your dog who is in the leadership role.
