A Pair of Pups –
Anise the Whoodle pup and bad-boy Rue, what a pair! After Anise attempted to destroy the kitchen in a fit of puppy angst, I realized that my permissive 60’s approach to puppy rearing was the cause of much of Anise’s behaviors. I called Carmen when it appeared Anise was headed for reform school. Within a week of meeting Carmen, Anise was waiting patiently to be fed and making significant progress towards housetraining. We still have a ways to go; I would love for her to sleep past 6 AM, or wait quietly in her crate. What I have learned is that you can have a well-trained pup without breaking their little canine spirits. Carmen’s instructions are clear, well-considered, and always delivered with an understanding of what is best for you and your dog.
