“I believe nonviolence fosters nonviolence. Because of the link between dog and human behavior, nonviolent dog training contributes to helping build a world of peace for humans and dogs. When people, especially children, are successful using nonviolent methods with animals, they are empowered and encouraged to share and manifest a kinder, more peaceful attitude with their friends, family, and the environment.”
