dog training call...lol

So i got this phone call from this lady who has a basset, corgi, aussie, border collie mix, the dog is hearding her and barking at 4 months old and she wants to know why...not only that she is asking me to help stop these behaviors.  I told her well you would have to get rid of the dog to stop the behaviors, but we can help tame them down a little with basic obedience.  What was she thinking when she got this pup? OH the poor pup, super energetic pup with a lazy family...talk about putting the dog in the wrong hands!!!!

modified to add: RESEARCH THE DOG BEFORE PURCHASING/ADOPTING!!!
