Dog Days in the Ivins Clan

I loved being a puppy raiser for the Seeing Eye. Our family's main job was socialization. It is the most important. I can't stress puppy socialization enough. Dogs need to get out and experience different places, levels, visual distractions, and other dogs! I am not a crazy dog person. Dogs need boundaries (like kids) or else they do not become good dogs. I haven't given my kids enough boundaries, but they managed to turn out to be amazing people. But, the dogs. Crave constancy. Think of a dog as a child with Aspergers syndrome, or autism. They need to be challenged and have trouble socializing. Enjoy some Pictures of the dogs over the last 12 years. Tiki, Mambo, Elton, Xebec, Tibor, Twinkie.
