"Just wanted to personally thank you for your very informative talk. It was not only very funny but also very useful to me!" Wendy Fisher, Petcentric, Santa Barbara, CA National Association of Professional Pet
Sitters Conference Attendee
"I have had the privilege attending Darlene's speaking engagement at the American Brussels Griffon Association's Roving National in October '05. Her talk was very useful to breeders and pet owners alike; she was very open to questions, very down to earth, dynamic, and a wealth of useful information. I would definitely make it a point to hear Darlene speak again." Donna Vartanian, R.N., Doll House Brussels Griffons
"Your book (Small Dogs, Big Hearts) helped save the chi mix my neighbors adopted! They were able to see she was developing pneumonia from your book, they called me and I confirmed how sick she was and they took her to the hospital I recommended. Also, it has helped them with behaviors. I like it too!!" Jill Kessler
"Darlene's talk was excellent!" - Auburn Public Library
"Darlene's presentation at the International Association of Animal`Behavior Consultants Conference in June, 2005 was informative and entertaining. Not only is Darlene skilled at conveying her extensive expertise on dog behavior, but her witty and personable communication style actively engages her audience. Small dog behavior issues are often overlooked, and I would welcome an opportunity to hear Darlene speak on this important topic again." Veronica Sanchez M.Ed. CABC, Cooperative Paws Private Dog Training & Behavior Consulting.
"The seminar you presented to our members provided invaluable information to support the NAPPS mission to provide tools to educate and support our members in their businesses. The feedback we have received from our conference attendees regarding your presentation has been extremely positive. We look forward to your future participation in NAPPS programs." Felicia Lembesis, NAPPS Executive Director, National Association of Professional Pet Sitters Conference
"Darlene Arden isn't always politically correct, but she’s almost always right. She’s never afraid to speak her mind. And most important, people remember her and what she has to say. She makes an impact. And that’s why I chose her to serve on a panel among presenters at the Conference of the American Veterinary Medical Association in Nashville, in 2002. She was superb!" Steve Dale, Syndicated Columnist and Radio Host.
I want to share a recent radio interview with
my good friend, Darlene Arden, who is the world's
utmost authority on small dogs. Here's the link to
the site: http://www.greyhoundsmakegreatpets.org/ (Darlene's interview follows the piece on greyhounds.)
Check out her new book "Small Dogs, Big Hearts", which
is packed with good information, or her other book "The
Irrepressible Toy Dog." Thanks.. you'll be glad you did."
