Relief

So we don't have a "psycho" dog. And that is exactly what the so-called trainer made us feel like last week. Today we had a woman whom the Boston Terrier Club of MN recommended we contact come out. Her name is Denise Nord and she owns a company called Canine Connection. She just so happens to have parents that live in Buffalo and was going to be out today anyway so offered to stop by. She saw how we interacted with him and gave us some training tips. Believe it or not he was extremely well behaved with her and let her put his leash on him. He was obedient and followed her commands... as well as a puppy learning does anyway. He was eager to learn with the reward of a treat. I think with patience and persistence he will be just fine with our family. We are having another animal behaviorist come to our house that Dan's step-dad has spoken with. From looking at his website and reviewing the information that he gave us we agree that with his help Zuma's "unnacceptable behaviors" can be corrected. He has proven to us that he "trainable"...unlike what the trainer last week told us! She had me up for nights not able to sleep! There is hope! (And we DO NOT appreciate the quick to judge decision that was made by them either so Leader of the Pack training facility in Buffalo is on our business list of "never refer to friends"...so hope it will be on yours too. I hope their false assumptions have never been made to others and their advice taken without further investigation.)

Anyway...on another note. We were at the gas station today and as we were pumping gas we ran into an old co-worker of Dan's. While he was in paying, I was talking to her. I was telling her about how we were adopting and from the backseat Kole said "Yeah...we are adopting my baby sister!" A girl perhaps................... ??????????? he seems to think so.
