[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: Hi, new pup

[Deborah Armstrong]

Sometimes though, the naughtiest ones are the best. It means they can 
think independently; don't wait for direction from you. I always have to 
remind myself of that when I get a new guide. But the bond that develops 
when I have to work on the problem behavior is really strong. The only 
dog I failed with was one who was a good girl all the time, she got so 
phobic of making mistakes she had no initiative.
