How do you know when you need help?

Well, for most of us, it isn't necessarily a clear cut answer. It may just be the final straw ie. the last rug to be torn up when you leave. For others, it may be as clear cut as the most recent dog bite incident, either to another dog or human.

Perhaps, you have a precious new puppy that you would like to start off on the right foot? Maybe, you know she is perfect and will remain perfect forever, but would like some help keeping her there.

The reality is there are so many scenarios. The chose to ask for a professional guide is strictly personal. You and you alone will know when and if you want a professional to help you.

The downside is that many people stubbornly wait so long that an injury occurs believing that they will be able to work thru the issues themselves without proper guidance. Why not? "They had a dog growing up." or "I've had dogs my whole life."

My advice is to BE PROACTIVE. If you think that you may need help from a professional than that probably means you already know the best answer.
