" I leave my dog for 10-12 hours a day and it is misbehaving. What do I do?"

"I got a Bloodhound for a pet and he never listens to me. What do I do?"

"I got a Lab from a field trial breeder. He is crazy and hyper. I walk him 15
minutes a day. What's wrong with this dog?"

"My Pit Bull plays rough with other dogs. He sometimes get too aroused and
hurts the other dog. Why is this dog like this?"

"My Sheltie barks all the time. Why does she have to be this way? What can I
do?"

"My Brittany likes to run far away when we go for off leash walks. What can I
do?"

"My Bouvier barks at people who ring the doorbell."

"My Akita attacks other dogs. What's wrong with this dog?"

"My Jack Russel is hyper, ruining my house, impossible to live with. How can I
fix him?"

What if I took my car to my mechanic and complained that it moved forward when
I put it in drive and pressed the accelerator? Would he not look at me and
think about calling the men in the white coats?

I'm sorry. I'm having a particularly DOG empathetic day. I get to have a few of
those I hope. My empathy for the human end is usually there, but the dogs are
the ones that suffer the most, so I'm indulging myself today.
