Let’s talk aggression…
We love rehabilitating dogs. It is about building trust and helping them understand this crazy human world. Sometimes us as humans don’t realize what is required to have a comfortable, confident, safe dog until the blatant negative behaviors arise. While preventative training is very important, Sometimes it’s not feasible. There are so many factors when it comes to training. That’s why as a trainer it’s important to be non-judgmental, patient and understanding with the humans as well as the dogs! There is so much misinformation out there, and large successful businesses, that will be deceitful just to get a payment. We strive to continue being honest, having integrity and transparency through our 15 years of experience. And sometimes it is difficult, but each dog reminds us that we are doing the right thing for the right reasons!
Recently max was brought to me for an evaluation after a severe bite to a neighbor. It can be discouraging to the pet parent, When the dog chooses to fight more than flight, but it’s also important to understand why the behaviors arise, and how to solve them! And it takes a very strong person to be open minded and put the dogs needs first. We commend those that seek long-term satisfaction, versus instant gratification, suppression and negative reinforcement tools. We love making a difference, one dog at a time. Reaching out is the first step!
