Many dogs are euthanized in the prime
of their lives because our dogs couldn't tell us how
frustrated they were.
They try and try in their own way, but
communicating to another species, humans, is not easy. Lets
take the pressure off of our dogs and learn to hear their calls for
help.
Be observant and proactive.
Skip the denial phase.
