 About
Us
Our mission
is two-fold: 1) to improve pet welfare in new homes by providing pet
parent education with pet adoptions
from animal shelters and rescue
groups, and 2) to improve pet
welfare inside shelters by providing
shelter teams and volunteers safe
and gentle pet handling education
and methods to improve the pet's
experience in the shelter.
Our vision is to reduce the
number of pets neglected, abused,
surrendered to shelters and
euthanized by providing pet parent
education with every pet adoption.
Our goal is help pets adjust
and stay in homes by educating pet
parents on how raise a happy,
well-behaved family member and
provide convenient resources for
resolving pet behavior problems
working with the pet parent and
veterinarian. Learn more...Buddy’s

Positive Pet Parenting™ Courses
help people raise educated adult
dogs who are friendly, confident,
relaxed, flexible, loveable,
well-mannered members of the family.
The method is easy! Pet
parents are enrolled fun “Positive
Pet Parenting™ Courses. Each lesson
arrives with a pet cartoon and
essential insights. Pet parents
learn gentle methods of pet behavior
modification by visiting a
"Self-help" Online Pet Behavior
Library. Educated pet parents help
shelter pets adjust more quickly to
their new homes.
Warning: Dog bites and
serious aggression when the
dog reaches full maturity at 2 to 4
years of age. By then, you can
modify your dog's behavior but it is
much harder because early learning
endures. Be proactive and prevent
dog aggression with Positive Pet
Parenting™. Below are the results of
a study by the American Veterinary
Medical Association (AVMA) and the
Center for Disease Control (CDC) and
the Humane Society of the United
States showing dog bite
statistics over a 20 year period.

Sad Statistics: Dog
bites are the
#1
US health threat according
to the CDC
P
4.5 Mil dog bites reported
annually (2% of US
population), most never
reported to the authorities.
P
Dogs between 1 and 5 years
of age bite more than older
than 6 years old. Male dogs
bite the most.
P
The CDC documents chained
dogs 2.8 times more likely
to bite than an unchained
dog.
P
Canines that are NOT spayed
or neutered are 3 times more
likely to bite.
P
10 to 20 people die every
year in the US as a result
of dog bites with the
majority of victims - by far
- being children. Dog bites
are the greatest public
health threat in the United
States.
P
Unwanted pet behavior leads
to more death in pets than
all health threats combined.
Behavior problems are the
leading cause of pet
neglect, abuse, surrender,
and euthanasia.
P
Statistics quantify the
effects of behavior problems
on the relinquishment of
pets to shelters resulting
in the breakdown of the
human-animal bond and
euthanasia of otherwise
healthy companion animals
(Miller, et al., 1996;
Patronek, 1996; Salman, et
al., 2000).
