Our names are Bob and Julie Butler and we recently moved from Prince George to Cadboro Bay.

For the past few years we have been manufacturing and marketing our own invention, an online product called the Better Behavior Wheel to parents with behavior challenged kids. Prior to that we owned a successful forestry contracting company that specialized in silviculture.

Bob builds small sailboats in his spare time, an activity that Julie tolerates providing he doesn't get too obsessive about it. We have one 18 year old son still living at home, as well as twin boys in their mid 20's and a 21 year old daughter who is studying to be an accountant.



Molly, Baily and Allie make up the balance of our family.



Exercise your dog!

Some daily activity and exercise is essential, allowing freedom to move about in a natural manner. Lack of exercise leads to poor muscle tone, obesity, heart ailments, bone disorders and often results in emotional problems and dog behavior quirks. Dogs with no exercise subjected to overcrowding and confinement in cages for prolonged periods, often their entire lives, develop a great variety of physical and emotional disorders.

An exercised dog may rest more calmly at home and be less nervous when left alone. Exercise can improve dogs bone and joint health, heart, and lung function. Exercise makes show dogs look better and feel better to a judge's exploring hands. (Because a happy dog looks more gorgeous).

The best exercise channels the activity of both mind and body. Some people believe that dogs need a big garden so they can get plenty of exercise. The truth is that most dogs do not exercise when they are outdoors by themselves; they spend most of their time laying in the shadow and waiting for "their people" to play with them.

You do not need to take up marathon running in order to adequately exercise your dog.

Make your walks interesting. Let your dog carry a box, a basket, or a toy while walking. Let your dog jump or balance over a tree, hide his toys, hide yourself, and most important – let him play with other dogs!

Teach your dog to retrieve. A dog who retrieves is easy to exercise. But throw the toy rather far than high. Jumping high in the air to chase it and landing awkwardly may lead to serious knee injuries.
