please don't yell at the puppies....

i work for a boarding & training facility (dogs & cats of course).

we get many many many many calls from people about their wild and out of control dogs. my favorite so far is the woman who said her dog was out of control agressive and just kept biting. she stopped in with what can only be described as a tribble (from star trek) - a 10 week pomerianian mix - who was very aware of how cute she was & i don't know that i would use the word agressive in the same sentence with her name.

anyway - not to belittle the stress a puppy can cause

please don't yell at the puppies (or the babies either)

a woman came in (why they have to meltdown in public is beyond me) with a beautiful gray great dane who was very bold, very big, and very young. the woman started out ok - halfway thru the conversation she lost it and had a very nice hissy fit. i don't know if she kept the dog or not (she kept threatening to send it back to the rescue she got it from) but here is the deal - if you cannot do the work please don't get a dog.

if you think screaching is helping try having someone banshee yell at you and see how you react.
