Flossy was bred by my friends so, when I was called by her owners Kath and John to help integrate her into their family, I knew that I would be dealing with a strong-willed yet good natured pup.  Her owners had waited for a number of years before welcoming a new addition of the canine variety into their [...]

Correcting excess pulling on the lead with Hugo the Dalmatian. · 26 February 2012
