asked a question What do you do when a potential client asks for references?

I just had a potential client ask for references. She has read my reviews but wants to contact people directly to confirm the reviews I guess. How would you go about handling this situation?

asked a question How do you stop attention barking?

My puppy has recently gotten into the habit of attention barking at me (and my roommates) when he wants our attention. I think it might have to do with the fact that another dog has entered our home - a service dog puppy in training. They get along great but I think my dog might be jealous he doesn't have my undivided attention anymore. Are there any tips or strategies to help end the attention barking?

Thank you!

answered a question Inexpensive, hands-off puppy boredom cures?

I have an active Australian Shepherd puppy and frozen Kong toys are my favorite! I do exactly what Michelle mentioned - freeze peanut butter. It's quick, easy, and dogs go crazy for the things! Another method is to feed part of his meal in them by getting his dog food wet, stuffing it in the Kong, topping the opening of the Kong with peanut butter or pumpkin puree or yogurt, and freezing it. If you buy multiple Kongs you can have several lined up in your freezer for your puppy to enjoy when you need a break! :)

The Kongs can be a bit of an investment up front (especially if you buy several) but I highly recommend it! You can also look up all kinds of fun recipes for them to keep your pup interested. I have found many good ones on Pinterest.
