Hi to all my Good Dog families, and welcome to potential Good Dogs as well!  It's turning out to be a fun filled and wonderfully hectic time at Auntie E's.  April brought a slew of new sod to the pup's "party pad" (ie; my formerly muddy backyard), and we'll be ready to resume doggie socialization gigs the last week of marvelous May (weather pending, of course!).  To all soon to be Good Dogs in training, Aunt E believes that ongoing, lifetime socialization is as critical as "formal" training, thus preventing our pups from becoming "cranky" with other dogs or humans.  I'd much rather have a "goofy" dog who's sometimes a bit embarrassing to their parents, than a lawsuit waiting to happen!.  Dog parties are FREE (unless we are treating an already aggressive dog in training) because socialization is my mantra, and we have such fun getting together to boot!  I could turn into Howard Hughes (bless his soul) if I didn't have my Good Dog family to keep my social skills in saavy shape.  I have a tendency to merely tolerate humans, but always LOVE their dogs (hahaha - that really is a joke!).  I'm looking so forward to seeing the Good Dog crowd soon (old and new), and tell your pups that a lush landscape in which to romp and play awaits!
