Top 5 Reasons Your Dog Doesn't Listen To You
If you're like most people, you may have a hard time keeping your dogs attention past the threshold of your front door, if you're lucky. While Mr. Scraps may (or may not) listen to you in the house, he definitely doesn't listen to you outside. Maybe your dog thinks he's the 2016 tug-of-war champion, always pulling you down the street.
