This morning we are rushing around to get stuff done before Deb Boswell with Bark Busters gets here. Mamaw asked me to please be a good girl while she’s here—she wants her to notice that she’s worked real hard to train me. When Deb came, I barked and acted somewhat inappropriate for a well trained dog. She refused to look at me or give me any attention. In fact, I didn’t even get a hello until I was sitting being quiet.

We began to go through the paces of what I’ve learned—even the “tricks.” They talked about where the problems were and how to train effectively to alleviate the problem. Boy, I’ll tell ya, it was a long 2 ½ hours I can tell you! Deb took me outside and showed Mamaw how to keep me from getting ahead of her on our walks. The woman nearly wore me out.
