Darlene's hopes for the book and blog

My hope is that Build Trust and Confidence with Your Dog: A How To Primer will help both owner and dog have a better relationship with each other, based on mutual trust and understanding.  It has been written with the best of intentions.  Just as books about exercise and diet often start with the suggestion to seek the input from a doctor before beginning, it is a great idea to have your dog checked out by your vet, especially if your dog seems unpredictable, aggressive or slow to learn.
