Audrey and Ashton
Audrey is a Group Home Residential Instructor in Canton, CT. Audrey has introduced Chloe to a different world filled with "special" people. Chloe had already been introduced to my "special" son, Shane and she loved giving him snookums! Shane loved Chloe's tenderness with him.
Audrey got well prepared for Chloe to come to her new home and read a great book called, The Art of Training a Puppy, by The Monks of New Skete. "Its great and very informative!!!," says Audrey.
The Monks of New Skete have been breeding and training dogs at their New York monastery for more than 20 years. Their philosophy of raising dogs accentuates the essential human-canine bond, whereby owners must learn to understand a dog's instincts, needs, and behavior. Understanding a dog, the monks say, is the key to successfully training him. They first published this philosophy in their 1978 classic guide How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend. Now the monks concentrate on the first three months of a puppy's life in The Art of Raising a Puppy. http://www.amazon.com/Art-Raising-Puppy-Monks-Skete/dp/1565112849
The book observes a litter of monastery puppies from birth to 12 weeks. Tender photographs and dialogue reflect these precious first few weeks of life. Even at this time, the human-canine link is vital; the monks stress the importance of gentle touch to help forge this connection. Basic puppy training techniques are explored and executed, all of which puppy owners should find easy to implement. Virtually all types of dog problems and dog training are examined in the book, always in compassionate and easily comprehensible language. The monks also look well beyond surface training techniques to analyze the roots of dogs' problems and explain how training can help. Owners are taught how to gently assert dominance over their dog, which will make for a long-lasting and fulfilling relationship.

Guinness
Guinness was adopted by Sarah P. and now lives in Nevada. Sarah is a full time student who already holds a BA, but is attending college to obtain another degree in Nursing. Sarah asked me a lot of questions about Little Miss Milly (Guinness) and I feel confident Sarah and her boyfriend will provide the loving home this little AKK will need. Now that Milly has flown to Nevada, her new owners will call her Guinness, but I will always know her as Milly.
I WILL MISS YOU LITTLE GUINNESS!!
