Bronson & Blaze are going back to Rotten Rottie Rescue tomorrow. Bronson completed training and did amazing! Blaze is going until his neck heals and them coming back to finish his training.

Bronson is available for adoption. He needs a very specific person who can handle and get along with him. No kids, no other pets.

Blaze, I won't know until he finishes his training.

Meet Humphry with The Pet Knot !

When Humphrey arrived he was so scared and had no idea how to walk on leash. Now he is making friends, and coming to me to get his leash on! He even got a thorough brushing yesterday!

Humphrey will be available for adoption after training!

Are you following Blaze's story? Rotten Rottie Rescue

Cuddling with Blaze this past weekend. Training is going well but has to be put on hold. Blaze's ears need to be addressed more than we can do without sedation. He also now has something happening on his neck right below his left ear.
So, we took him to the vet. They did an extremely thorough job cleaning out his ears and putting in meds that are supposed to last 30 days. We will have to do a 2-week check-up. The spot on his neck ends up being a hot spot, probably from scratching, shaking, and rubbing his head.
Tons of meds and steroids later we are home and he is pretty out of it the whole night. In the middle of the night, he is whinging to go potty so I take him out. While coming inside, he snaps at me for the first time. It is completely out of pain and I feel so bad for him.💔
His pain continues through the morning despite all the meds given to him so I contact the vet. We will also be adding gabapentin for pain. 🤞 that we can get him comfortable quickly. Poor guy.

Meet Jason Aldean. (Again)

Ok! This is a hard one. Jason & his sister Faith (now Nippy) were adopted together by a family out of a litter I whelped for Paws 4 A Cause Arizona. I don't ever recommend adopting siblings, especially for a family that has only had one dog previously.

I am struggling with this story. Let me back up.

The family adopted the 2 pups at 10 weeks. About 4 or 5 months in, the rescue contacted me and said the family was struggling so could I please reach out? So I did. I left a VM and never heard anything. Fast forward another 5/6 months and the rescue contacts me again saying the family is having major problems now. The dogs are fighting and Jason has nipped at multiple family members. I spoke with the family multiple times and found out that they had a lot going on in life and the dogs were not making things any easier. We got in-home lessons set up and I headed over to start training with a family that had zero knowledge about dogs. As I arrived, they informed me that they were going to contact the rescue and that they no longer wanted lessons with Jason, that he had to go. But they are continuing the lessons with Nippy and are doing well.

So, as a result, Jason is a very under-socialized dog. He isn't aggressive, just nervous about everything! Now the challenge we have is to get him to trust humans, follow leadership, and socialize with dogs without trying to control the situation.

Jason will soon be available for adoption through P4ac rescue who was amazing enough to take him back after a year of being adopted, pay for training, rehab and the responsibility of rehoming him! I love great rescues!

Yay! Great work! The training doesn't work unless you do they work! So happy! Can't wait for that follow up lesson to help some more!

This Big boy is Bronson with Rotten Rottie Rescue. He has been with the rescue for 2yrs because he is a little quirky. He likes to act like he wants affection, and then he will snap at you and try to dictate terms. Ummmm, no sir. He has not done it to me, but I have seen it. So Bronson needs an adopter who knows this breed and won't be afraid to enforce boundaries, and structure, and build trust over time.
Shelly had informed me that he had gone to another trainer previously who couldn't even get him to sit. Shelly and I had no problems getting a sit right off the bat. Here he is also working Down, and Place. (At his own pace. 🤣)
If interested in Bronson, please reach out to Rotten Rottie and fill out an application.

Hey! Does anyone follow Rotten Rottie Rescue? You should! Meet Blaze! (story in comments). This Big boy is being sponsored by the most amazing family! They have another dog and kiddos so🤞we can transition him. He is such a beautiful boy that needs structure and boundaries. We are also dealing with a debilitating ear infection which affects his training. The tools are in contact with the muscular connection near his ears so being cognizant of that does make us take things a little slower than usual. Every trainer needs to be aware of not only the mental status of the dog but any physical ailments.

To everyone who has a pup with me, my apologies! We hosted Thanksgiving 💕 which made me fall behind on posts.

This young man is Biscuit! And he has his own ideas on how things should be done. 🤣

Here is his before video, with a little tantrum. And his first prong walk and learning default sit!

This floofer is Ozzy! She here to learn her basics and make some friends!
Here is her before video and first prong walk.

Blue is doing so well! I did decide to add ecollar training, so this is his first work out with it. He has been doing so well I have had him off leash with my pack and he has decided every once in a while to be naughty. He picks and chooses when he wants to come or stray too far. That's ok! Easy fix!

Available for adoption with Paws 4 A Cause Arizona

11/02/2024

Why?! Why?! WHY is this girl still with me?!
Carrie is STILL available for adoption! Contact Paws 4 A Cause Arizona if you or anyone you know is interested in adopting her.

I whelped her litter on May 20th, 2023! Everyone was adopted. Carrie was returned after 3 months. NO fault of her own. And she has been back here ever since! She is leash trained and knows all of her commands. Dog friendly (she can get a lil bratty), kid friendly and cat friendly! This girl is awesome! She does have a TON of energy, but super loving!

Share share share share share!!!

Meet Blue! This sweet young boy is here to learn the basics.

Since the day he was dropped off was his first time in a leash, he is learning on a slip lead. (Cause no mistakes have been made. 😉) That's why he has no 'before" video, doing it right the first time. When training dogs, but especially puppies, become a human pez dispenser! Puppies work for their meals!

Suki is so smart and so sweet! Someone adopt this girl!!! Contact Paws 4 A Cause Arizona if interested.

She is learing the Down and Place command, along with just starting to learn how to hold a command.

As you can see in the video, ADHD is alive and thriving in this dog! 🤣 With Suki not being food motivated plus she really needs to put on some weight, it makes training interesting. Today I tried rotisserie chicken! She liked it, but I still didn't have her full attention. That's ok, this is probably the first structure this dog has ever had. Adding in consistency and trust we will get there.
