We're going to miss Tex, who has recently gone to his new home as a protection dog. While he now lives outta state, we know he'll be back from time to time for maintenance training. We've had Tex since birth so it's a bit hard to let him go. But we know he has an awesome partner who will take great care of him.

Dogs need and crave our leadership as humans. With it, they assimilate nicely into the human way of life. Without it, they become unstable and/or aggressive.

Nothing about dog training is automatic.  Some people are of the mistaken mindset that domestic dogs can simply perform as we want them to without any responsibility or direction on our part.  This mindset is a farce! A dog’s behavior is nearly always a reflection of his human. If the human perm...
