I am setting all that read this a challenge. Perform all the following Dog Duties every day for 31 Days. It doesn’t matter when you read this just do them all every day for 31 straight days. It may be tough or maybe not, but if you can stick with it I guarantee you will have a happier and better behaved Dog. You will also have a tremendous sense of accomplishment. It’s a month out of a lifetime so no excuses, get to it. Smile. Owning a Dog is a privilege and never forget that. Give your Dog a […]
Are You Too Soft With Your Dog (part 2)
