Starting out

When I brought my puppy home, two and a half years ago, I knew nothing about the change she would bring into the household. I thought it would only take a couple of days to get her settled in and house-trained...

All the books couldn't prepare me for the joy and responsiblity of introducing a helpless living creature into our family. It's been a steep learning curve but we're getting there.

Over the months and years I've accumulated so much information, from talking to others, from dog trainers and from books, television and the Internet that I thought I would put it into this blog in case it is helpful to others.
