Top Spot's Top Ten List

When it comes to your 4-legged best friend, does any of this sound familiar?

1. My dog never comes when I call him!



2. I just want my dog to sit and stay in one place while I make dinner!



3. I can’t get my dog off the furniture!



4. My puppy won’t stop nipping me…it seems playful but it still hurts!



5. My dog is always getting up on the counter and stealing food…the kitchen is a disaster when I come home.



6. The trash has been upended twice this week…I don’t know how she does it.



7. I want to walk my dog more but he’s the one who always ends up walking me!



8. My dog is always under the table at dinnertime, waiting for crumbs…how can I make him go to another part of the room?



9. If I answer the doorbell, my dog goes crazy, barking his head off. He’ll also jump up on anyone who comes through the door.



10. He won’t stop digging in the yard…pretty soon he’s going to hit a water main.



11. My dog is scared of his own shadow, I wish I knew how I could get him to enjoy our walks more.



12. Forget it, I can’t go near the dog park…my dog growls at the first sight of another dog.
