How to Train a "Crazy" Dog!

I like crazy dogs.

I like over-the-top dogs, dogs that come bounding in biting at their leashes (or anything else they can cram into their mouths). I like rambunctious, nutty, go-getters that exhaust their owners. Those are my favorite dogs to train.

When your dog's behavior in your absence seems extreme, he might be experiencing separation anxiety.
