Nothing in Life is Free

The following pages are devoted to human/canine relationships. They include my thoughts on training and behavior and the methods and techniques I have used to treat dog behavior problems. 

My hope is that you'll read what's in these pages and be inspired to get a professional evaluation or enroll in group class. 

The very first step is a physical exam. Don't even think about treating behavior problems without it.

I am not including information on topics such as housetraining and basic obedience (sit, stay, down, etc.) because there are already a multitude of excellent sites on the internet that cover these topics. 

I am always open to comments, suggestions, link referrals or anything else you have to say. 

Thanks for stopping by :)
