    Wow. It breaks my heart to hear how these dogs are living and being treated. Eye opening for this newbie. Thanks for sharing this. I appreciate your ethics and certainly appreciate that you reported this guy.

    Thank you for posting this, Marina. I’ll be following for sure.

    The first thing that came to my mind was what is happening in the home in terms of leadership? Are the dogs just free roaming in the house and doing whatever they want? Are they sleeping in bed with the owner and sharing resting spaces? Is the owner accepting nudges (or obtrusive pushes) for affection from one or both dogs or is the owner controlling all limited resources in the home?

    Both dogs sound overly dependent on affection and attention to feel secure.

    I think anyone can could see the incompetence. Wow. Do I think he is a criminal? I don’t have enough information to guess on that. I see a very poor handler who made a bad decision under a lot of stress and that is no excuse.

    Hey Cyndi! Thanks for posting this. At this point for me, it would be really helpful to have the scenarios of each picture so I had a little backup to my opinion on her body language. I am going to take a stab at it without it.

    1. uncertain

    2. engaged, confident

    3. engaged (play with me!)

    4. alert

    5. confident but curious

    6. confident (potential threat)

    Can’t wait to see what everyone says! My guess is that Lacey has a more dominant personality and is no pushover!

    This was so great, Allie! I have wanted to see Harper in action for a while. I can tell her foster mama is nervous about encouraging and even nurturing Harpers need to put her mouth on something. Seeing Harper do her thing and feel satisfied is a blessing to her! Love FSDT

    I don’t have much feedback here but would love to know what you come up with, Art. I agree with Allie that some crate training outside the car may benefit him.
