Writer's Notebook (Expert)

I am really good at puppy training.  When I got my dog three years ago, I read a lot of puppy training books.  Kingsley has grown up to be the most mannerly dog I've ever known.  She's well behaved and extremely smart.  When I began training her, I taught her about crates and how to be left alone.  It's really important that a dog learns how to be left alone, for short periods at first and then ending with as many as 10 hours undisturbed.
