Full Review:
First, a little back story. 13.5 years ago, we came home with Oscar and Tony. They are brothers (JRT). They had never been apart until February, when poor Oscar passed away from lymphoma. Brought home Dudley around a month ago. Dudley is now 8 months old. Dudley and Tony seem to tolerate each other outside and on walks, but can’t be left alone inside as they will go at it, which is initiated by Dudley most times, but not always. As mentioned, Tony is almost 14 and has some hearing and sight loss, but certainly can get around. Presently, we keep them separated by either room or put Dudley in his crate ( he is totally crate trained and sleeps in it). Yesterday we had Mark from Bark Buster. For the first hour he went over with us how a dog thinks and reacts. He then proceeded to teach us some tools to help the dogs better understand who is in charge. For Dudley the response was basically instant. He immediately started to respond and listen, and IMO he is already 75 percent near where he needs to be. Tony still needs work, but he is definitely obeying more. What Mark has achieved in one day is unbelievable and this is all done without scolding or treats. I was very concerned before Mark came that this wasn’t resolvable. I see it will take time but certainly will be resolved. I can’t say enough how awesome Mark is." Scott
