My dog is neurotic and I’m not talking a little bit. She’s always been a barker, jumping around like crazy when someone comes to the house, or leaves. Barking at leaves blowing around the front yard. Spinning in circles when we get up to get the phone. Now she’s chewing the door, eating the carpet, humping the kids, peeing, pooping around the house. I’m nuts.

An animal behavourist is scheduled to arrive here on Sunday at 11:00. I’m anxious to get started. I also watched a few Dog Whisperer episodes on National Geographic. These were helpful. I’m learning to become the pack leader and my dog is actually responding to the “shhh” thing. I like the power. I like my dog again.
