I recently received a question from a reader:
My 16-month-old Standard Poodle, Ellie, has a problem. She is a certified therapy dog who has worked in nursing homes and also works with children in a reading program at a local library. With that said, Ellie piddles when my daughter (who happens to be a vet tech) tries to speak to her. Ellie doesn’™t do this with anyone but my daughter. My daughter feels really bad. What can we do to stop this?
