You: Hi, my name is Tiffany. It’s nice to meet you all. We spoke on the phone a couple of days ago. Now I know you told me your dog Max likes to pull on the leash when you take him for walks. Could you elaborate on that and any other concerns you may have? Customer: Hi, Tiffany. It’s nice to meet you as well. The other thing that I have some concerns with about Max is that he jumps on people, barking at every person that walks in front of our yard, and no matter what I do, he has a ridiculous amount of energy that he can’t seem to get rid of no matter how much I play or walk with him. You: Okay. I do apologize that you are having such a difficult time with him.
