I frequently wonder how much a difference in training it would make if dog lovers would make it known that we're willing to help each other.
Thank you.

I Love this idea Lengel. I can practice this tomorrow with both, as the crates will be arriving via UPS and the crate pads will be coming via FedEx. She is reactive with both of these. I will make some cookies today for the guys, and watch for them tomorrow. And then ask them if they would oblige. I'm pretty sure they will allow this. They are such wonderful delivery men, and our regular UPS man always leaves a big biscuit for each girl. It is time for me to make him some special Brown Sugar Cookies.
