When I started to think about what I wanted to do with my website I had one main goal in mind (well, besides getting people the info on my dog training). That goal was making a site that improved the lives of families with dogs.
I have found that a lot of dog parents are surprised by the amount of work that goes into adopting a dog. It’s fun work, but its still work! And every once and a while that work just seems overwhelming. Even for people who have owned dogs in the past or are adopting a second dog. So my goal is to make their life easier and let every new dog owner know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
It is ok to be a little overwhelmed at first. In fact, its normal. I am hoping my blog brings insights, not only into dog training, but also the behaviour and psychology of the dog. I hope to answer all the “why did my dog DO that?” questions as well as share a few stories of my own that will bring readers a greater understanding of my methods and to share the amazing experiences I have had with a wide variety of animals!
Dog family counseling–more families should do it! Family is supposed to be about sharing life as a positive experience, not as a never-ending war of exasperations, aggravations and frustrations. It is ideally about reliable and responsive communication, accurately and peacefully conveying wants and needs.
Even more so, when the family is diversified not only by age and gender, but also by species!
Good job going for it, Marika! I am totally in your cheering section!
