A question for pet owners. Is there a scared straight program for dogs.

In this case a five year old bratty entitled golden retriever. Who has big attitude issues this morning, barking at me to hurry up with his morning peanut butter toast.
If Dunc wants to throw paws I’m in i said to him. You wanna trash bark run your muzzle. Clearly it is not my problem you snoozed through my peanut butter toast and jelly and now you’re late to breakfast.

I’ll straighten him right out.

I had a golden years ago ( he died in 1998) and they’re wonderful dogs. You could see the sun rise in his eyes anytime I came into the room.

With all the joy they bring to our lives, how can you not spoil them?

Dunc the best boy.

With a 14-month old beagle in our household, that story still gives me chills.
