Articles/Stories
From a Dog's Point of View



“Training does not limit a dog, training frees a dog. My dog is not limited because s/he does what I tell her. She is free: free to ride with me, free to meet people, free to run off lead in the park, free to play with other dogs. The untrained dog is free to sit in the backyard all by itself”
-Sue Ailsby
“In dog training, jerk is a noun, not a verb.”
-Dr. Dennis Fetko
“Ever consider what they must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul- chicken, pork, half cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!”
-Anne Tyler
“I know that dogs are pack animals, but it's difficult to imagine a pack of standard poodles . . . and if there was such a thing as a pack of standard poodles, where would they rove to? Bloomingdale's?”
-Yvonne Clifford
