And, be sure to give your dog play breaks during your workday, during any rehab, retraining program. Get them outside where they can roughhouse with you, get some sunshine, air, smell exciton new scents, run off frustrations, just enjoy being a dog for a while on a strict schedule they can come to rely on, wait for before they demand your attention w/barks or pawing, scratching at you.
