It's All About Dogs

Joyce & Boudicca

It’s all about dogs , for moments when I have a fresh thought or idea about dogs, dog behavior, dog training or other thoughts concerning dog welfare, and their quality of life.  I hope to pass thoughts on to everyone who loves and keeps dogs but most of all to those who want to understand them better.

Understanding dogs using their perspective potentially provides a much more interesting relationship and bond.

I’ll be posting thoughts concerning dogs, sometimes using studies, sometimes using my perspective, observation and views.

We believe this to be the path to successful relationships!

“Play and training are not contrary, but rather complimentary, dogs and puppies who have not learned that play and training are synonymous will not be willing participants in training because motivationally they are both necessary for success.” Hediger said, “good training is disciplined play” (1955/1968).
