		<description><![CDATA[Today is Sadie’s fourth birthday and I’m feeling nostalgic: Where did the time go? I remember frantically calling Gigi Moss like it was yesterday morning. I barely choked out, “My puppy is terrified of everything! I don’t know what to do!”  “Bring her to my puppy kindergarten,” Gigi said. Is she out of her mind? [...]]]></description>

No matter how many hours of training you invest. At least that&#8217;s how I condensed Dr. Nicholas Dodman&#8217;s lecture on fearfulness and fear aggression. &#8220;You can rehabilitate, but there is no cure. And, there is a tendency to relapse.&#8221; Thanks. [...]]]></description>
