"In my third in the Mystic Bay Series called, Town of Angels, Klaus Waxman, a bully, comes to town to reap havoc and mock the angels sightings in town. Children with special needs have seen angels and the whole town is jubilant and hopeful that angels are near. But bully, Klaus, is taught lessons in humanity by the indomitable Madam Norma, the oldest and wisest psychic in town. Klaus changes for the better with kind words and counseling. All bullies could change if helped like this along the way.

This is my prayer for the children of the world, that we, the grown-ups of the world, would see our way to help stop abusive bullying. Prayers are hopes and dreams, and if we all work together, what a wonderful world it would be for our children."

Maggie and Noah embark on a journey to find our world is all awash with angels.

The Angel's Daughter - A secret lies in Mystic Bay, California and only two people know it.

The synchronicity of events from high school to retirement changed her life for the better, turning her face toward heaven.

Midwest Book Review stated, "Sharpe's ability to see the good in circumstances and people identifies the 'special' in 'special needs' as she delineates her journey through the education system and those teaching and social encounters which changed her perspective and life.

"Teachers (especially those working with special needs kids) will find this spiritual and social reflection easily accessible. It's presented in vignettes which offer small, digestible bites of insight into a world where angels and kindness are present in more than one form."

‘Special Needs Children’ followed her recently released children's book about angels, ‘When The Angel Sent Butterflies’. The new book helps children understand that love from their parents and others surrounds them. Love conquers fear and believing that angels are near can help sweep any childhood fear away. This concept is presented in the book when Angel Ken sends Jones and Kate butterflies. The book, appropriate for ages 2 to 7, is now available at Amazon and Ingram.

"Will Rogers stated long ago, 'If There Are No Dogs In Heaven. Then When I Die, I Want To Go Where They Went,' Sharpe wrote.

"Many people who have had near death experiences, have written they have seen dogs and cats as they go through the tunnel toward the light. Recently, a friend of ours was on his death bed. His wife told me before he died, he saw his old friends and his mother who had passed away standing in the room. His beloved late dog was there too and ran to him. These stories of people seeing their loved ones convinced me. All our beloved pets go to heaven.

"Dogs have special roles in all of my books. I have given some of them the names of my late dogs and the dog and cat characters are woven into the story lines."

National Hug Your Hound Day Created By Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Coach

The holiday was created to increase the bond between dogs and dog owners and to help owners see the world as dogs see it

Nationally recognized dog expert Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Coach, has declared the 2nd Sunday in September 'National Hug Your Hound Day'. The holiday was created to increase the bond between dogs and their owners and to help dog owners see the world as dogs see it. Moore was the focus of an article written for 'The Dog Blog', by Jen Reeder, award winning pet writer.

"National Hug Your Hound Day," Moore stated, "is celebrated annually on the 2nd Sunday in September.  This day is dedicated to celebrating the bond between you and your dog.  National Hug Your Hound Day is about truly observing your dog (from their point of view) in their environment and everyday life and for just one day to see the word as your dog sees it.  As you celebrate your beloved dog , remember that today is about keeping our dog’s healthy, happy and safe at home and in our hearts."

Ami Moore's desire is to make America more 'pup friendly', as it is in Europe.  She would like for our dogs to be accepted in more places, especially public ones such as taxis, malls and restaurants and to appreciate the companionship our dogs give us and the value of it, both emotionally and physically.

How can we make America more 'pup friendly'? In the Dog Blog piece, Moore's advice is to " . . .take your dog everywhere you can. In most states, the way the law is written, you can take your dog anywhere as long as food is not being served. Have people hug your dog. Say, ‘Would you like to pet my dog? You can hug him – give him a treat.’ It’s a holiday to bring dogs to people who might not have them in their lives.”

"Spend a little extra time with your dog, get down to their level and make sure their environment and the places you take them are warm, comforting, inviting and safe.  Oh yeah, and give your hound a hug."

The Chicago Dog Coach, Ami Moore, CMT, CMVT is a leading expert in dog psychology. Her much acclaimed book, 'The Alphatude Attitude' was part of the curriculum at the Vancouver Island College Of Natural Wellness.

After attending three dog training schools Ami Moore started dog training in Chicago. She was awarded the Chicagoland Tails award for best dog trainer in Chicago and has been honored by various charities for her work with rehabilitating aggressive dogs. Ms. Moore also created the famous Guerrilla Group Obedience classes, and the 'Fido Fat Camp' concept so that loving pet owners could holistically increase their dog's health and wellness with exercise, natural food and psychological rehabilitation techniques. Ami Moore offered one of the first Chicago dog yoga or Doga classes in the city of Chicago.

She developed a three-tiered dog training and dog behavior management system based upon Alphatude, Amiability and Activity to balance the mind and body of the Chicago urban dog and dog owner which is explained in detail in her book. 'The Alphatude Attitude' is available on her website at http://www.chicagodogcoach.com.

Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Coach, Strongly Urges Dog and Cat Owners to Avoid Licensing Their Pets In The United States

Moore, one of the nation's top dog training experts believes it is urgent to discuss the topic of dog and cat licensing in America. Many dogs in the US go unlicensed. Ami Moore questions if that can create serious problems for both dogs and dog owners

A recent article on the KCRW website in Los Angeles addressed the problem of unlicensed dogs in the LA area. The professed benefits of licensing pet dogs and cats are to provide the means to reunite owners with lost pets, help curb disease and reduce stray pet populations. Ami Moore, a Chicago dog training expert widely known as 'The Chicago Dog Coach', believes this issue may be looked at in another way.

“I believe that mandatory licensing of dogs is an unfair tax on dog lovers. I do not believe that the government has the right to make you pay a tax for owning a dog or cat. Another occurrence that I see is that cities will make you pay an increased fee if your dog or cat is intact, yet current research shows that dogs that are left intact, the way Nature intended, live longer, are healthier and have greater resistance against cancer and glandular diseases,” says Ami the Chicago Dog Coach. “I think the government needs to stay out of my pocketbook and out of my dogs panties.”

"I am also against penalties for vets if the don’t release the names of dog owners and their dogs to governments. I believe that what happens between a vet and a dog owner is private and the medical professional cannot and should not be compelled to give lists of client’s names to the government."

"I am sick of the current 'Nanny-State' mindset of our country where every act of personal freedom and pleasure is controlled and taxed. If people want to donate to shelter and rescues, then let them do that instead of paying a tax on their pet. I have not seen any evidence that licensing contributes in better health or welfare of either owned dogs or dogs in pounds or shelters."

Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Coach, Offers Tips To Avoid Vacation Guilt For Dog Owners

Moore believes the key to avoiding vacation guilt for owners and stress for pets lies in understanding our pets and in the attitude of the owner who is forced to leave pets behind

Ami Moore, a Chicago dog training expert widely known as 'The Chicago Dog Coach', was quoted in the Boston Globe recently in an article entitled, 'Leave room in your carry-on for pet guilt'. The article covered the concept of 'pet guilt',  which strikes owners who go on vacation and are forced to leave a family member behind. This can inflict emotional trauma on the pet and can be a source of real stress for both owner and pet. In the article she offered practical and real world advice for pet owners.

“Dogs don’t recognize us as humans, or dogs, or alpacas, or anything else,” Moore stated. “They see us as an energy field. The trick is how you leave them when you go on vacation. If you leave with happy energy, then you’re giving them happy energy. If you leave them with negative energy like ‘I’m worried,’ ‘I’m afraid,’ ‘I’m guilty,’ then the dog will act the same way.”

“The dog is very easy to change because dogs are natural followers. Nature likes balance and strength. Humans like drama trauma cases. People like Lindsey Lohan and Kim and Kanye. Nature doesn’t. Nature runs away from that or kills it.”

Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Coach, Supports The Mental And Emotional Health Of Returning Veterans By Training Emotional-Assistance Service Dogs

The program, entitled 'Hounds4Heroes', is a coordinated effort with The National Institute of Canine Experts (NICE) and provides training for service dogs at no charge

Ami Moore, a Chicago dog training expert who is widely known as 'The Chicago Dog Coach', recently appeared on the The Beacon Radio Show with host Bill Jurek to discuss the training of emotional-assistance service dogs for veterans. Her program, entitled 'Hounds4Heroes', provides training for service dogs free of charge.

The program, which is a coordinated effort with The National Institute of Canine Experts (NICE), provides training for the service dogs free of charge. The program is a grassroots effort to assist the servicemen returning from the Middle East wars to recover from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), Trauma, TBI (Traumatic Brain Injuries) and Anxiety Disorders. Both disabilities often occur together and insurance companies do not cover the use of service dogs to assist the veteran with symptoms associated with PTSD and TBI. Therefore, to obtain such a dog, a veteran would be required to pay $10,000 to $50,000 out of pocket. In the 'Hounds4Heros' program, there is no cost to the veteran.

"Our PSTD service dogs," stated Ms. Moore, "are trained to relieve the mental stress of violence and war from the minds of our veterans who are returning from Iran and Afghanistan. Our dogs are living medicine that heals the war-torn mind. Psychological, neurological, and cognitive disorders show no outward identifying marks. It is important to understand that not all disabilities are visible; not seeing something is wrong outright does not mean there is no disability."

"These dogs are trained to help veterans with PTSD, trauma, Traumatic Brain Injury, mental stress and emotional stress by providing comfort and support during their activities of daily living. Our Chicago dog training program is unique in that we help the veteran pick out the dog of choice and help the veteran train the dog to meet his or her unique needs. As a way to show our appreciation, we provide the Chicago-based service dog training for free to qualified veterans."

The Chicago Dog Coach, Ami Moore, CMT, CMVT is a leading expert in dog psychology. Her much acclaimed book, 'The Alphatude Attitude' has been made a part of the curriculum at the Vancouver Island College Of Natural Wellness.

Chicago Dog Coach Ami Moore's 'The Alphatude Attitude' To Be Used As Part Of Curriculum at Vancouver Island College Of Natural Wellness

The program educates students about the importance of proper animal nutrition and holistic health including proper animal food preparation

The Chicago Dog Coach, Ami Moore, CMT, CMVT is a a leading expert in dog psychology. Her much acclaimed book, 'The Alphatude Attitude' has been made a part of the curriculum at the Vancouver Island College Of Natural Wellness. The program will educate students about the importance of proper animal nutrition and holistic health including proper animal food preparation, alternative healing methods for animals and many other subjects. The program is divided into 16 comprehensive lessons, covering every aspect of holistic nutrition and preparation for animals. Students in the program will gain hands-on experience by completing 5 animal specific cuisine creations.

"I so very honored," stated Ms. Moore, "that 'The Alphatude Attitude' was selected as part of the curriculum for the canine holistic health class of VICNW. Canine health and wellness is one of my top priories as a Chicago dog trainer and dog expert. Most dog behavior problems stem from physical or mental imbalances, so providing solid advice in proper nutrition, alternative healing methods and natural, holistic techniques to create equilibrium in both the dog and owner are part of my unique style. These methods work very well on rescue and shelter dogs that suffer from severe behavior problems such as aggressive behavior, barking and fearful, nervous anxiety attacks."

Vancouver Island College Of Natural Wellness strives to deliver eco-friendly Holistic Health Education. VICNW offers the Weight Management Coach Practitioner, Anti Aging Coach Practitioner, Holistic Nutritional Consultant, Master Herbalist, Holistic Health Practitioner, Homeopath, and Holistic Chef for Animals home study programs in downloadable formats. Their programs empower students to make a significant contributions to positive change.

"When I first began writing the 'The Alphatude Attitude'," continued Ms. Moore, "I wanted to make dog owners aware of the impact that their emotions have on their relationship with their dog. The public's reception of my book has been overwhelming, as it seems that there is a serious lack of awareness of the energy link between dog and man. VICNW has honored me by adding my book to their curriculum so that their students are introduced to my concept of 'mind to mind' training. I have always told my clients that 'dogs are just like toddlers with superhuman powers.' Toddlers with superhuman powers need the perfect balance of affection and authority which equals Alphatude (the act of gentle leadership) to keep themselves and the world safe.

After attending three dog training schools Ami Moore started dog training in Chicago. She was awarded the Chicagoland Tails award for best dog trainer and has been honored by various charities for her work with rehabilitating aggressive dogs. Ms. Moore also created the famous Guerrilla Group Obedience classes, and the 'Fido Fat Camp' concept so that loving pet owners could holistically increase their dog's health and wellness with exercise, natural food and psychological rehabilitation techniques. Ami Moore offered one of the first Chicago dog yoga or Doga classes in the city of Chicago.

She developed a three-tiered dog training and dog behavior management system based upon Alphatude, Amiability and Activity to balance the mind and body of the Chicago urban dog and dog owner which is explained in detail in her book 'The Alphatude Attitude' is available on her website at www.chicagodogcoach.com.

Ami Moore has been featured in numerous industry publications, magazines and newspapers across the country. She writes as the Chicago Dog Training Expert for Examiner.com.

Author Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Coach, Reveals The Real Story on Stopping Aggressive Dogs

We needn’t look far for information on stopping dog aggression. The question The Chicago Dog Coach asks is: Are we really getting the full story on aggressive dog obedience training? If the mainstream media provides any clues, the answer is no

The Chicago Dog Coach, Ami Moore, CMT, CMVT, a leading expert in dog psychology recently revealed the truth regarding aggressive dog behavior. “It’s time we separate fact from fiction, and myths from truths. The real story here is that aggressive dogs are created by dog owners who lack the proper information for the effective parenting of their dog. Most dogs that I rehabilitate from aggression problems are dogs that are owned by loving dog owners who haven’t the slightest idea of how to raise a safe, sane dog.”

”Most people who call me,” Ms. Moore continued, “are terrified of their dog, afraid that their dog will hurt a child or a grandparent and don’t know what to do about it. They don’t know about Alphatude or the leadership energy that all dogs need for good health. They are clueless about proper diet-most owners feed their dogs the dietary equivalent of deep-friend cupcakes. Amiability, the education of the dog is often absent and proper Activity to condition the body, mind and soul of the dog is absent as well. Many of the aggressive dogs that I see are grossly obese, under-exercised and over-loved; the classic recipe for creating a homicidal maniac.”

Ms. Moore can rehabilitate a dog in the Rapid Rover Rehabilitation Session, a two-hour long training session that addresses the aggression from the dog’s point of view. In most cases, the dog owner experiences a immediate mind-shift that allows them to project Alphatude in their role as the dog’s parent which can lead to a complete and total turnaround in the dog’s aggressive behavior. Ami says, “The emotional testimonials from my clients who can live in peace with their dogs is heartrending. I am blessed to have the opportunity to support my clients in finding love and happiness with their dogs.”

Ami Moore asks the dog owners of aggressive dogs to consider three key points before turning their dog into a shelter, giving their dog away or putting their dog down.

1. The dog is always a reflection of the dog owner’s inner emotional truth. An aggressive dog equals a weak, permissive dog owner

2. The key to quickly rehabilitating the agressive dog is not obedience training, it is creating the Alphatude Attitude” in the human being.

3. There is no such thing as a bad dog, there is just an unknowing dog owner.

Ami Moore is widely recognized as one of America’s leading dog training masters. She has dovetailed her love of learning, her coaching skills and her love of dogs into the creation of a vibrant company that has enabled her to create harmony between homeowners and dogs in homes all over America. With over 20 years of experience in the field she invests a tremendous amount of time giving back to the community. As a dog trainer, personal coach and therapist, she assists non-profit organizations in creating and implementing therapy/service dog programs in schools, churches, community centers, prisons and other businesses.

"In my book, 'The Alphatude Attitude'", continued Ms. Moore, "I talk about how the human component, particularly the feelings of fear, anger and frustration, influence a dog's behavior. The human learning to control their emotions is an important part of this process. I always tell my clients that their dogs need leadership more than love. ‘Alphatude’ is the leadership attitude expressed in a way that the dog understands. Dogs don’t really understand abstractions like words or emotions. Dogs understand concrete communication: tone, body language and facial expression.”

Author Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Coach, Offers Tips To Help Heal Dogs Using Healing Energy

We need not look far for information on how our energy as dog owners can help heal our dog’s behavior problems. The question The Chicago Dog Coach, Ami Moore believes everyone needs to ask is: Are we really getting the full story on how our energy heals our dogs? If the mainstream media provides any clues, the answer is no.

[July 26 Chicago IL] It is a given that our energy can help heal our dogs behavior problems. Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Coach, believes energy can heal much more than this.

“It’s time we separate fact from fiction," stated Ms. Moore, "and myths from truths. The real story here is here, right in the palm of your hand. Your thoughts and feelings are transmitted to your dog and can help immediately heal your dogs’ behavior problems. I teach my clients that dog massage is the best way to increase their dominance with their dog and to immediately boost their dog’s health."

At the recent Dog Day Afternoon luncheon and seminar sponsored by the Animal Ministry of the Chicago Bodhi Spiritual Center, The Chicago Dog Coach astounded the audience with her demonstration of dog-friendly healing tips and massage techniques. She offers the following tips regarding the benefits of therapeutic dog massage:

1. Calms the Dog
It has been proven by experts that dogs bark and make noise more when they are restless, tense, hyperactive or aggressive. A good massage therefore helps them relax and ultimately makes them quieter.

2. Reduces Pain and Inflammation
Just as humans feel a lot of relief to their aching muscles after a good massage, the same happens to our dogs. Extremely beneficial for very active dogs; and even for dogs that are couch potatoes.

3. Increases Immune System Function
Gentle massage triggers the chemicals that affect the dog’s hormonal system which brings down the level of stress hormones that weaken the immune system.

4. Improves Blood and Lymph Flow
It stimulates blood circulation and flow of lymph which then increases the amount of oxygen that reaches tissue and flushes out toxins and waste which increases overall health.

5. Decreases Pain
Massage instructs the brain to release pain-killing endorphins.

6. Reduces Stress
Dogs that are exposed to a routine of massage tend to be less aggressive, less hyper and less nervous as they become adults.

7. Decreases Healing Time From Injuries
Dogs have been treated effectively with a good massage, which restores restores mobility and flexibility.

8. Builds A Proper Alphatude Attitude in Dog and Owner
It helps to build trust between people and their dogs. It can increase awareness of subtle changes in a dog’s physical conditions that may be precursors to disease.

9. Heightens Concentration and Alertness
Helps increase the dog’s ability to concentrate on difficult tasks, improves the dog’s memory and sharpens intelligence.

10. Promotes Longevity
Routine massage will help dogs live longer and more productive lives. If the dog is geriatric, dog massage will help reduce pain and physical infirmity.

Dogs hold a universal appeal for a very large percentage of the American public. Very few people know dogs like Ami Moore, widely known as the Chicago Dog Coach. Ms. Moore has submitted her entry for Oprah's search for the next TV star.

"This is a show," stated Ms. Moore, "that will show dog owners cutting edge dog trainng tips, dog nutrition ideas and holistic healing methods from all over the world. Dogs are just like us and can do things that are AMAZING. My show will show it all. You have to go beyond the Dog Whisperer and get into the dog’s soul, as I teach in my book, The Alphatude Attitude. This is a subject that holds universal appeal with the public and is the reason I believe this show could draw huge numbers of viewers.'"

Ms. Moore's audition can be viewed at here.

Ami Moore is widely recognized as one of America’s leading dog training masters. She has dovetailed her love of learning, her coaching skills and her love of dogs into the creation of a vibrant company that has enabled her to create harmony between homeowners and dogs in homes all over America. With over 20 years of experience in the field she invests a tremendous amount of time giving back to the community. As a dog trainer, personal coach and therapist, she assists non-profit organizations in creating and implementing therapy/service dog programs in schools, churches, community centers, prisons and other businesses.

"In my book, 'The Alphatude Attitude'", continued Ms. Moore, "I talk about how the human component, particularly the feelings of fear, anger and frustration, influence a dog's behavior. The human learning to control their emotions is an important part of this process. I always tell my clients that their dogs need leadership more than love. ‘Alphatude’ is the leadership attitude expressed in a way that the dog understands. Dogs don’t really understand abstractions like words or emotions. Dogs understand concrete communication: tone, body language and facial expression. Being chosen as the next TV star would allow me to bring this message to a much wider audience.”

Ami Moore has been featured in numerous industry publications, magazines and newspapers across the country. She writes as the Chicago Dog Training Expert for Examiner.com.

Jennifer Swanson, Award Winning Author Of The Penny and Rio Series, Celebrates Childrens Book Week With Curriculum Giveaway

Jennifer Swanson’s award winning Penny and Rio early chapter book series features interactive books that lead to exceptional learning. To celebrate National Children's Book Week, she will be offering a curriculum giveaway. She also announces the release of the third book in the series, Penny and Rio: The Diamond Collar Adventure

To celebrate National Children's Book Week, Jennifer Swanson, author of the award winning Penny and Rio Series, will be offering a free copy of her curriculum suggestions to anyone who purchases a copy of Penny and Rio: The Mysterious Backyard Meeting from her website. Designed by the author, Jennifer Swanson, M. S. Ed., the packet includes exciting and interesting ideas for how to use the Penny and Rio books in traditional or homeschool classrooms. Provoking discussion questions, interactive role-playing assignments, even suggestions of similar books for text-to-text connections will engage students and get them thinking like the dynamic canine detectives.

"Teachers and parents", stated Ms. Swanson, "will enjoy using these curriculum suggestions in any learning environment. In no time children will be seeing dogs in a new and fascinating light. Perhaps they will see they have a dog detective of their very own, right in their own backyard. The possibilities are limited only by a child's imagination."

The third installment in the award-winning Penny and Rio early chapter book series, Penny and Rio: The Diamond Collar Adventure, will be released in July 2010. In this book, the dynamic canine detectives escape from the backyard for the first time in search of a valuable diamond collar lost by Hannah, the beautiful show dog. As Penny and Rio search for the misplaced treasure, they encounter Ted, the lovable but clumsy collie, Sarge, the belligerent and forceful German shepherd, and an obstacle of epic proportions. Just when it feels like Penny has reached the end of the adventure, the prize is ripped from her grasp. Solving this new problem will take all the ingenuity and determination these dog detectives can muster.

"I am thrilled," continued Ms. Swanson, "to announce the release of the third book in the Penny and Rio series. This exciting adventure will have readers digging, sniffing and jumping through obstacles right along with the canine detectives as they clear the hurdles to complete this adventure on time. The suspenseful ending will throw the reader a loop as the intrepid pet detectives must use their heads to solve the problem like never before."

The release of the third Penny and Rio book will be quickly followed by the release of the first two Penny and Rio books in Thailand in late summer 2010. Penny and Rio: The Mysterious Backyard Meeting and Penny and Rio: The Locked Doghouse Mystery have been translated to Thai for marketing and distribution to the children of Thailand for later this year. The series is also being distributed in France by Mariposa Press.

Ms. Swanson’s books have won numerous industry awards. Both of her books, Penny and Rio: The Mysterious Backyard Meeting, and Penny and Rio: The Locked Doghouse Mystery, have won a Mom’s Choice Silver Awards for Juvenile Fiction – Early Reader. The Mom’s Choice Awards esteemed panel of judges includes educators, media and other experts as well as parents, children, librarians, performing artists, producers, medical and business professionals, authors, scientists and others. They have both been awarded The Dove Foundation’s Family-Approved Seal.

In addition to writing books about dogs, Jennifer is committed to helping animals. She firmly believes in adopting dogs, and has taught her children the same values. In support of this goal, Jennifer donates a portion of her proceeds to a local Jacksonville pet rescue organization, G.R.E.A.T Rescue. The organization rescues and rehabilitates golden retrievers and places them in their new and forever homes. Jennifer has also recently teamed with Pawsitive Pets, a local organization that takes dogs into schools to help children learn to read.
