What do you like about this subject?

It is an honor to be able to help the dogs that are in need of either nutritional or behavorial support. Most dogs that end up at kill shelters were brought there by owners who did not know how to change the situation and in frustration got rid of the problem by getting rid of the dog. Many of these problems were puppy related and eccerbated by lac

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to continue learning about cutting edge canine health issues, behavorial issues, and to rescue more dogs from early deaths due to poor nutrition and poor medical practice.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Spay/Neutering can save the lives of millions of dogs each year. Most dogs are brought to kill shelters as a result of poor problem solving techniques on the part of their owners. Information is everything!

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

There is growing controversy about the drawbacks of commercial dog food and vaccinations. I would like to impart this vital information to others.
