Chewed shoes. Torn carpet. Pillow stuffing all over the house. Potty training. And the sass!

I got my dog Lily, a pitbull-Lab mix, from the local shelter when she was just 10 weeks old. I had never had a dog before, let alone a young puppy who was looking to me for, well, everything. I knew I needed help to bring her up right, so I sought as much material I could find to help. I found a lot of duds and a lot of gems in all the ebooks, physical books, and general advice I got, and it’s been quite a journey for Lily and me. I made this website to compile some of the best information I found, and try to synthesize some of my own.

Now, that said, I’m a dog lover, not a dog expert.
