Isn't he cute? Fido is the newly adopted puppy of my neighbors. While he's full of energy (I had to hold him down for the photo!) and can get into mischief, he is a very good dog and responds well to direction.

My neighbors previously had adopted a neglected dog named Simon from a shelter. But after a few short weeks, they clearly saw that Simon needed special care and training. He was starting to act out in harmful ways and they called the shelter for guidance. While it was a difficult decision to make, they decided it was best to return him to the shelter.

This past month I had a client that I too had to 'let go.' After being in practice for years, I could recognize the signs that this client was not a match. Just like my neighbors who had assess if their newly adopted companions were a match, so we Practitioners need to be responsible and determine who we can help.
