Blaze learning how to handle himself better around wildlife! No screaming at or chasing the deer on our pack hike
Sal graduated his B&T
Sal‘s feelings about the world have caused a lot of trouble for him in the past
Severe anxiety, resource guarding people, guarding his crate, going after people as they leave the room, panicking that resulted in biting, and a fear of strangers were among the issues he came to work on
His conflicting feelings and tendency to panic and lash out with his teeth made him a real danger to himself and others. He’s already down one leg because of this behavior. It took 2 weeks before I felt I could trust him without his muzzle
Sal came so far while he was here! He’s notably more confident and comfortable with the world. The guarding of people and his crate is almost non existent, and when it does show can be interrupted easily. His owner sent this update yesterday -
“I had a couple friends over last night and had sal out with us for a while and he stayed in his place and didn’t bark or lunge or leave even while my friend got up and down and walked past him while talking on the phone. Amazing. Amazing.”
She also commented on how much more relaxed and at ease he is now. He will never be the happy go lucky, go anywhere, meet everyone dog, and that is OKAY. The goal is to give Sal the best life for HIM and give his owner the freedom to live her life without having to worry as much about Sal and how he will behave
Side note: His owner is one of the loveliest and most patient people ever. For not only dealing with Sal but loving him and wanting the best for him
