If there is ever a time, when working with your dog, you feel yourself getting frustrated, angry, annoyed or just plain old fed up...just walk away. Knowing when to check your energy and walk away is one of the biggest challenges you can overcome. Another form of walking away, and possibly the most difficult, is learning when to walk away from the dog entirely. Walking away in the sense that maybe you and this particular dog are just not meant for each other. Maybe you don't have the time or maybe your energy's just don't match up. Knowing when to find a more appropriate home for your dog and a more appropriate dog for you can save you a lot of time, money and emotional distress. You should bring a dog into your life, if for nothing else, for two specific reasons: to reconnect with nature and to enjoy their company. In the end, do what is fair for the dog and what makes you happy.

Do the right thing,
Maxine
