Kudos
for Dog Training Expert Paul Owens - the
Original Dog Whisperer: |
|
| "I
just want to say that I have always
wanted to be a dog trainer and I
have read every dog training book
I can get my paws on, but I only
listen to what I feel fits with
Paul's philosophy. No other book
of mine is as well used as The
Dog Whisperer. It is my dog
training bible!
I train my friends dogs as a
hobby right now. (I'm 26.) About
three and a half weeks ago I got
myself my first dog (besides strays).
He is a purebred Jack Russell
whom I will be taking to shows.
I now use the book more than ever.
I recommend your site/book to
everyone I know who has questions
about dog training. When I have
my own dog training business you
can be sure that the number one
book I will order for my clients
to buy will be The Dog Whisperer!
Your site should say
The TRUE Dog Whisperer!"

In November,
1991, I drove up from Florida to Youngstown,
Ohio to adopt a Portuguese Water Dog.
I didn’t know what puppy from the
litter I was going to choose but as I
was playing with 4 of the puppies, out
of the corner of my eye I saw a puppy
huddling under the table. I asked about
her and the breeder suggested I choose
one of the other 4 as that puppy wasn’t
very social with people or the other puppies.
As soon as I heard that I immediately
chose her. She was 10 weeks old. Her
full name was Molly Mas Macho.
There were some rough times growing up,
especially when her aggression was so
bad she’d break through the screen
and try and bite little old ladies who
were walking home from the bus stop. And
she’d act like Cujo if someone came
close to the car. But I told her that
no matter what, I’d stick by her. And
she slowly found herself. |

We did a little competition
training, a little agility and some water
training. We pretended to hunt at the
local preserve which means she chased
squirrels and ducks. She never caught
one but she was very proud she was able
to keep them off the ground.
We went to waterdog camp where she learned
to jump out of canoes and off piers, swim
underwater and retrieve stuff. She was
a tremendous swimmer.
We traveled around the country doing
seminars and she loved the motels.
But her all-time favorite thing was
visiting grade schools. My Paws for
Peace program teaches children to be kind
to one another by being kind to dogs.
Molly was the star.
As the years passed, her eyesight began
to deteriorate. While we were making a
presentation in a grade school, she was
asked to do her favorite trick of answering
the phone and then throwing it in a waste
basket when I said the words "bill
collector." But I knew something
was wrong when she missed her target.
It took her three tries but she persevered
and finally completed the trick. That
was the last time she could see a waste
basket. She went night blind at the age
of 7. And she was totally blind at the
age of 8. But she didn’t seem to
care.
We spent 8 more wonderful, joyful years
together. More than 16 in all. She
helped teach all my other dogs what it
meant to be a dog…and what it meant
for me to be a better human…have
fun, live in the moment and love everybody.
She was simply awesome. I was blessed
beyond words when she chose me.
Here’s to celebrating Molly. |
