Welcome to "Dale on Dogs"

Welcome to my blog, and thanks for visiting. For much of my life I've been deeply involved with dogs and their training, and I have written a book, LET THE DOG DECIDE, to guide people in training their own dogs. As the title probably suggests, I've developed a radically unconventional approach to training. On this blog, I'll be commenting from that same independent perspective.

There'll be lots about the wonderful creatures dogs are and the extraordinary relationships we have with them. But because these relationships don't happen in a vacuum, I'll also be talking about what our treatment of dogs, and animals in general, says about us and modern society.

Finally, because I am also a guitarist and a singer/songwriter, you may find some observations about music, art, politics, and whatever else strikes my fancy. I hope you'll find it all enjoyable and stimulating, and I invite you to join in with comments, questions, and observations of your own.

Thanks again for visiting!
