Greetings!

I have a dream that one day every human who has a dog in their family will learn to master the walk. To me, the walk is the foundation for the human-canine relationship and crucial to establishing pack leadership. It's one of the most powerful tools we have for bonding with our dogs.

Many of you have written in to ask what you can do for my birthday. I thought it over and what I would love is for people to master the walk with their dogs - or to start the process - and to influence others to do so as well. That would honor the dog guy in me. And I hope you will send photos of you with your pack behind you or by your side. I'd love to see them!

I am extremely grateful for all your well-wishes. It is wonderful to hear how you have changed your dogs' lives and are making a difference in the canine community. Together, I hope we can create a world where all animals - human, canine, or otherwise - are balanced.

Stay calm and assertive!
