As the time stamp reveals this was taken years ago. Stella was not a year old and I had not yet given her a job so she gave herself one. After a few more similar episodes we embarked on much training – basic and advanced obedience, Canine Good Citizen, agility, lots of power walks, exposure to many different experiences (including going into my credit union) – Stella became a pretty good dog. Not a perfect dog, a good enough dog. She’s remained a good enough dog ever since, one I am happy to own, pleased to have shaped into what she is today.

Ha ha! Naughty Stella! That’s all it takes really isn’t it? A little discipline and they are wonderful life friends.
Very true and I was the one who needed discipline. The dog trainers’ philosophy was: “I don’t train dogs, I train people.” Stella was the dog I needed then and she has been a wonderful companion since.
Ah, but of course, how could I forget..The Dog Whisperer approach which I completely agree with!
