Lessons from Pepper, Our Dog (and a Hurricane)

September 27, 2017

On the day that Jackie brought him home from the dog pound, Pepper was in his terrible twos, an age he never grew out of! He was a black and white Cocker Spaniel. From the beginning, he disliked dog training and, from most people, he would not even tolerate a gentle push on the behind to […]
