4. A dog that knows how to greet visitors politely.
5. A dog that is no problem in the car.

Just remember if there is something about the way your dog behaves that you would like to change, you have to try something different.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got!”
Perhaps not grammatically correct but you get the picture!”
