Thanks for your help this morning Jess has a beautiful rottie that she rescued and certainly came with some issues.

Sojo is the only one I underestimated in who she was to become. It’s a team like this that will forever be a reminder to me for dogs like Ollie.

It’s this team that has me put the doubters at bay and say never underestimate what’s possible.

When people doubt the possibility of change I always remember how incredible sojo’s turn around is.

I honestly thought she was always going to have some “psycho” in there. She even got her own song “sweet but a psycho”. Haha

Jess gave me a hell of a time in training, questioning every statement or training suggestion.

Through this we gained a respect for each other and Sojo is one of the coolest dogs you’ll meet. And Jess learned how to advocate for her pup and others. She’s never looked back.

Thanks to Jess and Soj I’ll never doubt what’s possible, and always give 1000 to each dog and owner.

Never more happy to be proved wrong. A lesson I will take forever in my dog rehabilitation adventures. And a story often told in my lessons.

Ollie certainly is a different dude to any I have met. He’s unique and at times a little scary. I can never say the dog will be “fixed” as they are not an engine.

They are living beings with the complications of human relationship.

This is why it’s so important to educate and support the owners throughout. What they do from there is up to them.

I love a challenge.

Thanks to Soj and Jess, I will never underestimate the possibilities-

Jess eventually believed and trusted in what I was teaching and now they are a rockin team. Mad respect and love.

Tug of war is a fun game that teaches amazing things while instilling leadership and a great bond with your dog.

Tug of war is an exhausting game mentally and physically. Have fun with your dog and build amazing skills.
