Why I'm Writting this Blog

The blogosphere is now full of blogs on almost every topic, so why am I writing this blog? I'm writing this blog because for the last almost ten years, I have been blessed with a loyal four-legged companion and best friend to whom this blog is dedicated. He has enriched not only my life, but the lives of those in assisted living facilities, nursing homes and group homes where we have done pet therapy. It is my hope that this blog can serve as a resource of information for dog lovers on all topics relating to dogs from adoption and rescue to training and behavior to activities and travel with your dog.

Frequently, when I talk to people who are fellow dog lovers, or at least patient enough to listen and nod politely, questions arise about training and socialization. Part of being a responsible dog owner is making sure that your dog is properly socialized and understands his position in the "pack." The importance of this task is underscored by the number of dogs who are surrendered to shelters due to lack of proper training and socialization. Unfortunately, there are still those who cling to "traditional" training methods as the only acceptable way of training a dog. By sharing Buddy's story, I hope to be able to demonstrate the shortcomings of "traditional" training methods and show that there is a better, more effective way.
