Pay heed to your dog growling, they're speaking. Step back, take five, and start all over.

"Lexi has been going regularly with Lae and Beau and the pack for over a year now.
She is just back from a wonderful few days out with the pack, learning new skills in new environments. She loves Lae and Beau and feels very secure with them. As an anxious rescue dog, we are so happy Lexi is as happy as she is with them. When the car pulls in to collect Lexi, she is so excited and happy. Her favourite walk with the pack is the beach. 🐾" (Melissa, K.)

"You've been a huge help.
"I'll admit that on the second week once Lexi came out of her shell and her personality came through I wanted to give up and rehome her after a couple days. Your encouragement advice and friendship helped so much." (Cathy Brockman)

"Dogs need a certain amount of social interaction, running, chewing, digging, and other doglike things each day, and if they do not get the chance to exercise these basic instincts in a natural way they will create ways to exercise them in an unnatural way." (The Truth About Dogs by Stephen Budiansky, High Anxiety) With Chill Paws, dog trainer and behaviorist, dogs learn in such a setting spontaneously, through play, games*, activities**, peer example, and experience. With the deployment of ALL these, training and behaviorist knowledge and experience, dogs can thrive, self-confident and happy.

Poor dog.
"I have no idea what I'm doing," said her handler. They have, so far, gone through a dog trainer and a dog trainer/behaviourist dropped them because they weren't pulling their weight in the training. Despite all this massive failure on the dog's family's part, her human has decided to do training herself!!! That would be very funny if it wasn't so sad for the dog.
Rescuing is admirable but, if you take on a job that is way beyond your capabilities, is cruel and stupid.
