Dogs And You Think You've Got It Bad

I see a lot of people and a lot of dog situations. Some are very easy. Some are incredibly difficult. 

I'm often there for the very difficult situations. It goes way beyond normal dog training and behavior modification.

Anyone can get a dog to Sit for a treat. 

But not everyone is equipped to deal with some of the very complicated, sometimes tragic human situations that need a solution that integrates the family dog in such a way to make things easier in their lives. Sometimes that dog is the only comfort that these people have in their lives... if I can make it work out. 

So, when some people whine and post online because their puppy chews on their shoes, it comes across to me as pretty self centered and ridiculous in comparison to what some people are dealing with. 

Get over yourself. 

Plan accordingly.
