The dog is not an automaton but a creature of endless variation: there is no standard and training is not confined to training sessions- it happenes every minute of every day.

If you are going to be agood trainer of dogs you will need to look at your attitude toward them as carefully as you look at the dogs themselves.

I believe that the biggest problem we have when trying to train dogs is that we see things too much from the human point of view.

If you do not give them enough exercise, both mental and physical, they will provide their own stimulation by perhaps working out how many minutes it will take to eat your sofa.

Think much, talk little. Try to see the scene or the situation as adog does.

My dog understands part of my world yet j understand almost nothing about his.

Theory is all well and good but it is practice that makes it valid and gives it life and colour.
