Thank you so much for your concern but I suppose our not knowing one another makes it difficult for you to take my piece in the right spirit.
My dog is INTENSELY loved. We are all about his needs and have trained him. However, we realize this is an ongoing process and different times of day, different times of year, different weather and etc. affect him greatly. I am a writer and my purpose is to give folks a window into the frustrations and challenges of some of the things I live with in an honest and up front way because I feel so often we are not comfortable sharing or being honest about difficult things. As a dog owner, I know many, many other dog owners who train their dogs well and love their dogs strongly, and still struggle regularly with certain issues - these are animals, not dolls - they are not robots, they can't behave the same way every single moment.
I appreciate your concern, but I really hope you can expand your understanding to realize that if I were honestly neglecting my dog I probably wouldn't write about it.
We have the sweetest dog imaginable, but he happens to be a very energetic guy and we work tirelessly to give him everything he needs, including extra walks, extra training, internet and verbal advice, and so on.
Also your negativity in the comment section of my article is really uncalled for and totally obnoxious.
