Dogs should never be forced, dominated, intimidated, emotionally harmed, physically harmed, or punished.

We remain vigilantly cognoscente of dogs' dependence on man and consider it our responsibility to provide for their physical, mental and emotional health.

In recognition of the fact that dogs are incapable of malice and relentlessly trusting of humans, they must always be treated with sensitivity, gratitude and reverence.
