While walking your dog on a leash, you encounter a dog running toward you off leash. Your dog acts aggressively with this dog. How would you handle this?
You come home from work and your dog was left alone in the living room. They have peed and pooped, chewed your shoes and other objects. How would you react to this situation?
You are walking your power breed dog in your neighborhood and a person approaches you with negative comments about the breed of dog. How would you respond to this?
People are walking by your house and your new dog is barking at them through the fence. How would you handle this?
Your new dog has been crate trained, will you continue on their crate train when you adopt?
