…………………………………………………………………….. I am always working on something with my dog. Every day he does something and I think, I wish he wouldn’t do that! But it’s easier to say “I wish my dog would do that” than it is to say “I am teaching my ...

Yesterday I wrote about the final day of my 30-day challenge to take my mutt to 30 new places. The main goal of this challenge was to get my dog to chill out when he visits new places.

My mutt has a few issues with acting overly excited. He cries in the car. He is obsessed with his tennis ball. He whines if we’re visiting someone’s house and he’s feeling nervous.
