yes, this woman's instincts for working with a cairn are remarkable. she knows that responding to the curly lip warning with cajoling, petting and hugging is very powerful. it takes a lot of courage --it hurts more to get bitten in the face or neck than in the hand-- but it goes directly to getting the cairn's respect, and cairns really do respect courage and gentleness. of course he didn't give up the curly lip but you could tell that he was a little less serious about it each time. she developed a real relationship with him, and he came out looking like gentleman. really wonderful.

she could make a fortune in cairn training!

i so hate to see the dogs trussed up like criminals in some grooming salons. this is real quality work.
