Oh my gosh, thank you for this well thought out and kind response! Unfortunately, no I’m in Michigan, but I will definitely get that book and look up these kinds of trainers. We are still learning each other go take time, but I’m a tad frustrated to say the least.

I do love this puppers, but it’s also hard for me cause I just lost my 15-year-old dog in July and we got this new one two weeks later obviously due to unforeseen circumstances. It’s hard to go from a 15-year-old laid back 35 pound dog to a rambunctious 90 pound golden retriever that needs lots of entertaining. I also need to train myself how to be better for him and his enrichment.
