How aggressive of dogs can Boots Pet Wranglin' handle?
This was the message I received a few times this morning asking just how aggressive of dogs we can handle, so I figured I’d share a little bit about my experience.
I’ve had hands-on experience working with some apex predators over the years: Tigers, Ligers, Lions, Wolves, Grizzly Bears, Jaguars, and some others just as aggressive.
Thanks, Tiger King.🤣
But when it comes to dogs, one of the experiences I’m most grateful for was the time I spent working alongside a Rescue that specialized in bringing four-legged veterans home from overseas..
These dogs were highly trained, highly driven, and some were combat veterans. They were experts at working thru situations involving muzzles, handling, and restraint.
I regularly worked with this rescue to safely trim the nails of dogs that required triple-muzzling and multiple handlers to accomplish the job without injury to the dog or the people involved, and as quick as possible.
At most, it took three people.
And I continued working with these dogs consistently and successfully.
It was a privilege.
It was a challenge.
And it taught me a tremendous amount about patience,secure holding for humans helping, reading body language, respecting thresholds, and knowing when a situation requires a different approach-
That experience is a big part of what I bring to Boots Pet Wranglin’.
Sometimes, we have to softly wrangle a situation. 🤣 but we move quickly and efficiently.
Not every dog is going to cooperate just because we ask nicely. Some dogs need more time, more patience, different equipment, or additional hands.
And that's okay.
Our goal is always the same:
Keep the dog safe. Keep the humans safe. Get the job done successfully.
Boots Pet Wranglin’ has the experience to meet dogs where they are, even when they aren't exactly thrilled about what we're there to do.
We approach every situation differently, because every dog is very different.
