AAAAIIIIEEEE!

AAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHH–“

Welcome back, Karen. I thought that for today’s training session, we’d see if we can’t get Iggy to calm down when he sees other dogs.

Sorry, Steven, I didn’t catch that. What did you say?

EEEEEEEEEEEEYYYAAAAAAAAA—

I said, we’re going to get Iggy to—

What?!

–AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH—

WE’RE GOING TO–

“[pant pant pant]”

–WORK ON—sorry. Okay, I want to—

AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—

–I want to work on Iggy’s shrieking!

I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over Iggy’s shrieking!

–EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYAAAAAAIIIII—

We’re going to walk around the store—

What?!

WE’RE GOING TO WALK AROUND THE STORE AND WORK ON HIS SHRIEKING!

Okay, I’ll walk around the store while you work with him!

—AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYAAAA—

What?!

But wouldn’t it make more sense if we all walked around the store together?!

What? Yes! That’s what we’re doing!

–AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHH—

Okay, as soon as he stops shrieking, I want you to click the clicker and give him a treat!

What?!

–AAAIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYAAAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE—

I said give him a treat!

What, now?! But he’s shrieking!

—AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH—

No, wait!

–AAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—

Here you go, Iggy.

AAAAIIIIEEEoh, what’s this?”

A cut up piece of a hot dog.

“A what?”

It’s a piece of a hot dog. Isn’t that great? You get this if you–

“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!”

What?

“YOU’RE TRYING TO FEED ME A DOG!”

Um–

Iggy, it’s not a real–

Karen? You actually weren’t supposed to give him—

“YOU’RE A SICK, SICK WOMAN!”

Iggy, it’s not a—

Oh, look, another dog just walked in. Let’s try to–

AAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE—

Sorry, what?!

Let’s walk Iggy past the dog, and if he stops shrieking, give him a treat!

–AAAAIIIIIIEEEEYAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH—

Come on, Iggy, let’s walk—

–AAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH–

As soon as he stops shrieking–

What?!

—AAAAIIIEEEEIIIIEEEEEEEAAAIIIEEEEEEE—

He has to stop sometime! Doesn’t he?

“[pant pant pant]”

Quick, treat him now.

Good boy, Iggy! You get a treat!

“NO! THAT’S DOG!! YOU’RE INSANE!!!

I told you, hot dogs aren’t really dogs—

“DOGS?! WHERE?!”

Oh, no—

AAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Well, that was fast, our time’s up for this week!

Okay, thanks for your help! See you next Sunday?!

AAAAIIIIIEEYYYAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!

Shit.

Great!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

Fearsome Watchdog.

“AAAAAAAGGGHHH!!”

“AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!! AAAAAIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!”

Iggy! What’s going on? It’s three in the morning!

“AAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!! AAAARRROOOOOOOO!!!!”

“OUT THERE! AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!”

Is someone outside?

“AAAAAAIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!”

Iggy! Did you see someone outside?!

“MAYBE!!!!!!!”

Maybe?

“YES!!!! MAYBE!!!! YES!!!  OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD–”

Oh no. Okay, I’ll call the police —

“I MEAN, NOT RIGHT THIS SECOND!!!! BUT STILL!!!! AAAAARRROOOOOOO!!”

Wait, is there someone outside or not?

“POSSIBLY!!!”

What do you mean, possibly?

“I MEAN IT’S WITHIN THE REALM OF MATHEMATICAL PROBABILITY THAT THERE IS SOMEONE OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW!!!!!”

Oh, for the love of — someone on our property?

“NOT NECESSARILY!!!!”

Ugh.  Of course not.  Iggy, if not our property, then where?

“SOMEWHERE!!!!!”

You’re shrieking because there’s someone somewhere.

“YES!!! AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!! PEOPLE!!! IN… IN PLACES!!! PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE!!!”

I’m going back to bed.

“GOOD NIGHT, KAREN!!!!!”
