Meet Saffie and Speckle
Breed: Waimerana and Dalmatian
Barking from: Carterton
What's up dog?
If I get stressed, Saffie starts barking at me, so I need to stay calm. It has helped me to manage stress and keep things in perspective and monitor the tone and volume of my verbal communications. Both dogs dislike swearing. This is hard for me but probably good all round.
