Every Dog Should Be Muzzle-Trained So… I was at a dog show in California, competing in an agility trial with my black Doberman, Dancer. Someone I knew, another exhibitor, had a beautiful, red Doberman she’d rescued from a bad home where she was kept on a chain in the yard. My friend was looking for someone to adopt her.

While I packed my things, she jumped over the console between the two front seats and onto my seat. Muddy paw prints on my seat!!!___________________________________________________________ Click here to read more on blaming dogs...
