Bakery section smell is a whole training module. We figured it out after a bad night of sleep.

Maple hates that exact scenario so I feel this. Also thunder nights are a whole separate training plan.

Ok so, your dog clearly trusts your leadership — thunder nights are a whole separate training plan.
