"Writing is a dog's life, but the only life worth living." -Flaubert

Just like Flaubert described his 'Sentimental Education' as "the moral history of the men of my generation", I like to think of my Dog Training Star education column as my contribution to the evolution of the relationship between canines and humans of my generation.

Gustave's clear invitation for dogs to pick up the pen and let their voice be heard has inspired me to write the following articles for you, dog lovers and dog owners wherever you are, in the hope that I may help you better understand our canine world and why at times we appear so doggone confused.

If you or your canines wish to contribute appropriate articles, please contact us.
