The fact that she couldn't train the dog or find services to help train Cricket speaks to her COMPLETE incompetence! And, the fact that she didn't have anyone telling her: "NO! Don't put this in the book" shows she has horrible advisors.

I love what this wise dog trainer said about the dog's natural inclination is to kill the chickens.....Good Lord...

It's frightening that she's in charge of a state much less was being considered for V.P. She needs to GO AWAY!!! She's a Sociopath!!

So it's not like she had no other options. She had plenty of options that she chose not to pursue. To me, that's what is so disturbing about this story: klling the dog wasn't necessary. She could have avoided it if she'd wanted to, but she didn't care enough to even look into any other options snd saw no need to do so. After all, the gun was right there, so what could be more convenient. Bang, bang, problem solved, right, Kristi?

This man is a gem! I loved the statement "brings the mind of the human and dog together in a meaningful way, so you can meet each other halfway."

I just hired back in March a dog trainer for my Siberian husky. She is our 4th husky and I waiting a few years after my last one passed away til getting another husky. It is super hard to train any dog (IMO) having only one now.
We are mid-late sixties and couldn't afford 2.

At 5 1/2 years old and my husband coming up for a hip replacement (yikes) we had to get a college gal who is training and learning how to be a dog trainer to help me. She is $20 bucks for 45 minutes and Sable loves her.
I had heard that dogs really want to learn good behaviors because they want to please us. We can now get down the front steps and in the truck without getting pulled off our feet. Progress! She just got a bath and looks and smells awesome!

I am so grateful to this trainer because I absolutely agree that dogs have souls just like we do.
TY for posting!!
