The last two posts really hit a cord with me. What is it about small dog owners and not wanting to train them? They certainly should have good manners as well as a large dog.

That said you have to know how the trainer will handle a small dog with large dogs in the same group and that he/she will not require a choke collar, the good ones will work around it.

I haven't had one in training for quite a few years so I am not current on what they do now but I would still require the above.

Are there trainers out there for just small dogs? If not sure wish there were.

So I had to post this pic! My stepson got home before we did last night and he took all 3 dogs to his room and they are all nervous around him and won't go near him when I'm home... but when I'm not home .. well as we say "Any port in a storm!" LOL

So in this pic, Dexter is laying right next to Daisy and Fletch is away from them. How funny is that?? I mean he literally goes nuts trying to just get away from her! LOL
