Does it stop noisy, continual, irritating barking when you tell it to stop? Does it listen to your commands? If not, why not? There's no reason at all to have a badly behaved, disobedient dog. You don't have to be an expert dog trainer with years of experience to get instant obedience. As lon... more...
