My philosophy and experience:

As we grow in understanding alongside our pets, we begin to forge a bond with them built of trust and love. That bond is not born when our puppy first jumps into our laps, but rather when we move beyond ourselves and realize who that puppy truly is. Dogs are honest, unlike us humans, and they are telling us all we need to know... we just need to understand, and communicate in return. My BA in math gave me a basis in logic that led to clarity when I studied behavior and psychology. Using simple principles and a lot of patience, we can give our pets the happy lives they deserve.
