Meet Rip. Rip is 10 months old and lives with a lovely family. Though he started off as a sweet puppy, he has gradually developed some bullying behaviors towards his family. Rip has the start of some resource guarding issues and is triggered by strange noises that result in him panicking-and snapping at the nearest person. As we have observed him, he seems to walk around with a chip on his shoulder. We see this as a young pup trying to insert dominance over certain situations. We have also observed an insecure young dog with some anxiety issues that he doesn’t know how to fix by himself. We are looking forward to showing Rip just how to settle down and relax. Rip’s obedience is very nice. His family has done a wonderful job with that but his state of mind is where the work needs to be done. We are looking forward to seeing this transformation. Let’s get busy.
