Judge bars vet's barking service dog
Excerpt: A judge barred a combat veteran attending a trial from bringing his
service dog into a Detroit courthouse after the miniature poodle barked
at jurors.
You'll love this part of the story: "The dog, prescribed for post-traumatic stress disorder, has been trained to bark when strangers approach."
Which means this poodle must be a non-stop yapping machine. After all, there are a lot of strangers out there.
From the TWBNR Advice Column Department, we have this question:
my neighbor has her dog tied up about 10 feet from my childs window. the stupid thing sits out there and barks 24/7..ive called the cops...they
do nothing..left the neighbor notes...im at my wits end....any other
suggestions?

If you think that service dogs serve best when they don't engage in needless barking, check out the QuietBarkingDogs store. Clothing and bumper stickers that noiselessly get the point across.
Funny: The dog has been "trained" to bark when a stranger approaches.
ReplyDeleteGee, that must have been SO difficult! Hey, I trained my dog to eat Steak! Fido is a genius!
