My brother is an 63 year old retired truck driver that takes blood thinners. He has always been a dog person but our dog Minka has been a bit much for him in the past. The last time he came over she gave him a skin tear on his arm from pawing him to pet her. Probably just a scratch for you and I but for him a huge, skin tear.

We always have to sit at the kitchen table so he has a chance to fend her off. Well, when he got here for this visit I told him that I had a dog behavior expert come over. He politely shook his head. I told him that we were going to give her a real test and we went and sat on the couch. I corrected her once and had to stand up once. That’s it!! The pawing, the jumping on the couch….done. She brought her toys to him and put them in his lap…that’s it!

When he was ready to leave he said that he always thought that stuff was kind of bullshit (he talks like a trucker too), but Minka is a new dog and he just couldn’t believe it. We sat outside and she was just as behaved. It takes a lot to impress him with things like this and he was in awe.

Just thought I’d share. If you are in doubt or have questions about getting help from Dog Gone Problems, get in contact with me. We are superfans!
