Our first interactions may have occurred when wild dogs were attracted to human garbage, or humans may have acquired the puppies of wild dogs and trained them to be obedient pets. By means of the careful selection of dog parents, humans have been able to create a wonderful variety of dogs with plenty of talents and many different looks. Here are three examples of “a dog’s life” in the human world.

What you hold in your hands is not nearly as important as what you hold within your mind. It is no accident that so much conflict exists between dogs and humans. Experts, trainers and owners make assumptions based on what is seen by their eye and a human perspective. This is only half truth as nature has a truth of its own which goes deeper and is more profound and meaningful. Dogs live in a world connected to nature and follow a path beyond the physical. Years ago I noticed certain contradictions which could not be reconcilled from what could be seen from the surface. One of these contradictions was the issue of why some owners were successful using a certain method while others failed following the same exact path of training. I knew it linked to the psychological state of a dog’s mind associated with behavior.

I am a dog lover to the bottom of my heart, from my head to my feet. And regardless of what I read or hear about pit bull attacks, I don’t hold anything against the pit bull breeds. Maia, my black lab mix, is 1/4 pit bull and she is the most loving and sensitive dog I have ever had. I acquired her when she was 2 yrs old and she had obviously been raised properly with training and socialization. She has some of the characteristics of pit bulls such as the broad face and muscular body and the intense prey drive for small animals such as chickens and cats. However, she has totally accepted my cat and although she tries to get the cat to play and wants a good chase, the cat doesn’t oblige, holds her ground and Maia gives up. But any cat outside of my home is fair game. Therefore, she is never off leash around other cats.
