ABOUT A LOYAL COMPANIONWe believe that one of life’s greatest pleasures is living with a dog. It can be one of the longest relationships we’ll experience and one with many challenges, including the language barrier. Our responsibilities to our dogs include love, structure, and the highest quality of life we’re able to provide.At A Loyal Companion, we believe the foundation of this relationship is respect, communication and trust. Activities such as massage and training create opportunities for you to build a deeper relationship with your dog and give him the best chance at a long, happy and healthy life. Harley is the inspiration for A Loyal Companion. A handsome and stubborn hound mix, he has a mind of his own and isn’t afraid to use it. And that’s what makes me love him. His loyalty, trust, respect and never-ending supply of silly grins adds an element to my life that nothing else could. It’s a feeling everyone should experience and I launched A Loyal Companion to help others to build deep and meaningful relationships with their dogs.
Community service is also an important element of A Loyal Companion. Harley and I visit the Pima County Juvenile Detention Center on behalf of Gabriel’s Angels (www.gabrielsangels.org). Our work with this great non-profit provides healing pet therapy to abused, neglected and at-risk kids. Our goal is to break the cycle of violence by helping kids experience trust, feel empathy and show compassion. I encourage you to get involved with this great organization. I hope you enjoy working with us. We enjoy sharing what
we know and watching you build a stronger bond with your
dog. |
