Is it bedtime yet? 😳

Is it bedtime yet?  😳

So I had my dog trainer friend come over and help me with Win.  I am just not very comfortable with a dog who's growling at me.  She tricked him into her slip lead with some chopped up weenies and now we've got a long leash on him that will not be removed before his transport.  It's hanging out of his crate so that I can open the door and urge him out with it.  I hope that makes things easier on us both.

I told her how things went this morning with me reaching in and him ducking to the back and hiding his head.  That is avoidance - him telling me to leave him alone.  When I didn't listen and persisted - he growled.  He was just telling me to back off the only way he knew how.  So.  I do appreciate the warnings.  Better than him just snapping on me.  I do wish he wasn't so scared, though.
