<p>Lord, thank you for the gift of love. We can give and receive from our pets, and, with it, a deep bonding that goes beyond what words can say.</p><p>Although this book began as my personal story, it soon became much more. The intent was to create a training guide so that those who picked it up could get answers to common problems whether their dogs were pups, rescues, mutts, purebreds or elderly. It is my hope that you will find&nbsp;many helpful suggestions as I share personal stories with my own dogs and with the many clients, two-legged and four-legged I have had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with. A beautiful bond exists between man and his dog. Enjoy each story.</p>
