Welcome 

For ten years, via a well-received quarterly newsletter, I spoke out for the welfare of dogs and kept in touch with dear dog-respecting people whom I am privileged to count as my friends. With this blog I will now be able to share thoughts, perspectives and experiences in a much more timely fashion.

I’m sure the steady flow of success stories from Dialogue® enthusiasts—a staple of the newsletters—will continue, and I will no longer have to
save them for a periodic newsletter. I expect to have photos and videos to share while I continue to be a captivated spectator, watching Dialogue® change the lives of dogs and their human partners for the better in so many ways.

Thank you to all who have through the years been part of this movement to create a sea change in the way people perceive dogs and their behavior and address behavioral issues, and welcome aboard to all who are just finding out about Dialogue® for the very first time.

According to Webster’s, “dimension” can mean “scope; importance.” It is my intent to explore in this blog the scope and importance of Dialogue® in the lives of dogs and people.

I welcome your comments.

Yesterday when I first looked at email that had come in since last night, I noticed a request for connecting on LinkedIn. Much to my delight, it was a request from a former Dialogue student. I’m not always able for whatever reasons to stay in touch with someone whom I’ve taught. That teaching always establishes [...]

Food warnings
It’s that very happy holiday time of year again. As we enjoy feasting on many foods, some that we only get to indulge during these holidays, we need to be more alert than ever to what might get dropped to the floor or carelessly left in an unprotected garbage location. According to experts, there are [...]

Friend or Foe?
Not long ago,  when I came in from feeding the horses, my 9-pound Malti-poo Eddy was waiting inside the door. As I came through the door, he didn’t look up at me to identify me. He looked at what was at his eye-level–my snow boots–and from that he judged I was a stranger, and he [...]

Listen Up!
The other night an experience with my little Malte-poo Eddy gave me reason to be really grateful, once again, that I perceive dog behavior through the lens of Dialogue® and respond to that behavior accordingly. I was eating dinner with a friend. Eddy is usually very mannerly at such times. He’ll ask what we are [...]

My Dad’s Friend continued…
We were living in a second-floor apartment. The kids were asleep in their rooms. I had fallen asleep on the couch. I was awakened by the sounds of Rhonda growling and snarling and a man screaming. The screaming man had tried to break in. Rhonda was chewing on his leg. I got to the door [...]

My Dad’s Friend
Those who are learning about Dialogue Dog Training and incorporating its concepts into their lives with their dogs are a special lot. I want this blog to be a place for these people to share their cherished memories as well as their current experiences and ongoing progress. Such a memory was shared with me by [...]
