FOREWORD þÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍþ "Walk A Mile In My Paws" is a very effective program of canine obedience and behavior training. When we put ourselves in the position of understanding why a dog behaves as he does, we add a heightened level of communication, understanding and achievement. "PAWS" brings a special pride, confidence, respect and love to the relationship which is so important to the happiness and well being of both you and your dog. Throughout the years I have known many dog owners and have witnessed far too many abuses. These abuses are, in most cases, prompted by a common circumstance. This being the inconsistent expectations and emotions that some trainers will impart to their pet during training as a result of not having proper understanding of the dog's point of view. Of course it seems to most involved in this situation, that the dog is not very intelligent or just doesn't care for the training that you have worked so hard to impart. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you are disappointed in your dogs behavior, habits in the home, attitude toward others or obedience to you, there is none to blame but yourself. The simple fact is that your dog is not sure of what is expected of him. As you read this valuable training manual, you will learn how to have the most rewarding relationship possible with your pets. You will have many years of love, friendship, pride and joy between yourself and your dog. I might add, this can be accomplished without ever having to raise your voice or strike your animal. How can this be possible you ask? Simple! " WALK A MILE IN MY PAWS " teaches you the skills necessary to train your dog in 10 short minutes a day through understanding what it is that makes your dog act and react as he does. "Walk A Mile in My Paws" makes this possible because when we train from our dogs point of view, the frustrations and failures of training become a thing of the past. Loving praise for good behavior and no exceptions from what puppy is allowed or not allowed to do, will serve to keep everyone including pup, happy as can be. END OF FOREWORD
