“The surprise of our 13-week-old Golden puppy growling over her bone left me furious, surprised, and heartbroken all at once. I couldn’t believe a baby puppy could do that. Worse yet, I immediately thought about what if it happened with our young nieces. Lorrie's training intervention worked wonders. Now, Bella happily hands over her bone, even brought it to me to hold for her to chew the other day.”
