In July, we celebrated the 10 year anniversary of Oscar's "Gotcha Day", when we brought our adorable, 10 week-old puppy home.  Reminiscing, I fondly remember the months of sleepless nights, the razor sharp teeth, the non-stop chewing, and the teeny, tiniest bladder on the planet. 

I desperately needed to turn my 20 pound wrecking machine into a good canine citizen, before he became a 100 pound monster!  So I turned to the experts in dog behavior and training.
