Lastly, I wrote a book in 2015 called, "Considerations for the City Dog". If you have read it, please leave a review and tell your friends! If you haven't, consider purchasing from dogwise.com or amazon.com in either Kindle or paperback format. In these unprecedented times, any form of income would be wonderful, and that book can help a lot of people. So, if you have the means and would like to support dog trainers like me who are trying different things to reach their students remotely, know that every thumbs up, shout out, and purchase goes directly to help us reach our students. 

Thank you!
