My name is Julie and we are the Parsons family. We have a 9 month old miniature schnauzer named Carli. We’ve had Carli since she was about 4 months old.

I was trying to a be a nice guy! I took in a client’s 12 week old puppy to keep for a week (while she was away) and to do some training. He’s male, HIGH energy and very very full of himself. He bites, barks for attention and jumps on us and our dogs relentlessly […]
