Jamilah should have advised LW1 to open her call on her neighbor with a sincere, understanding apology for not controlling her dog. Goldens need a lot of training and absolute discipline to not develop habits like running up to people and jumping on them; a poorly-trained puppy is going to be a difficult-to-train 80- to 90-pound dog very soon.

If LW1 the sort of person who confuses her dog with her children, then she should consider withdrawing from the carpool before her dog bites one of the kids because she insists on bringing the dog everywhere with her in her car.
