Now working from home, she adopts a dog, King, an adorable lab-mix. While getting used to each other, she can't figure out why King doesn't respond to basic commands, and recognizes she needs some dog training skills. She reluctantly signs up for a few sessions taught by expert dog trainer Owen Michaels.
