“I wasn’t going to give up on this dog. I was just going to love him.”

“Looking for moments and opportunities to be with him and give enrichment.”

“I finally came to the realization that he just wanted to be with me.”

“When we teach ourselves to measure progress and look back and see how far we’ve come is when the magic starts to happen.”

“He’s one of the best-trained dogs. It was me who needed help.”

“You think it’s for their own good. You know you’re going to keep them safe, but they only understand that you’re trying to take them to deal with scary stuff.”
