Pawsitively Perplexed! Sophie Investigates the Nutritional Nightmare of Dad's Smoothie in Dog Eat Doug

These days it’s little miss Weezy that investigates everything that goes into my smoothies. And that started as a conditioning excercise. You see, when we first got Weezy everything set her off, and that included the Smoothie maker. (For the record I use a Ninja and that thing has been the most reliable thing in my kitchen for a decade). Anytime I blended one up, Weezy would come charging.
So it was an another opportunity to work with her on her deeply embedded anxieties and fears. Not going to lie it was unnerving at first, but the number one thing you have to do when working with a dog like that is remain calm. It took almost a year and then I had her siffing everything that went into the smoothie before I turned on the blender.
