It’s so nice to get the awesome feedback from owners who did the hard work and got the results. Results could mean the difference between being able to keep or not keep a dog.
Instead of making one of the hardest life decisions a dog owner could make, why not simply train your dog? Life can be so much more fulfilling with the right help.
Bowzer was adopted at 3 months old. He’s currently a 1 year old pit/GSD mix who had pretty decent amount of reactivity.
Bowzer’s issues before coming to us included aggression, biting every member of the household including husband, wife, and two teenagers.
Bowzer also had reactivity out the front window of their house, runs up and jumps on kids, biting them when minding their own business, and also had family visiting from out of state (New York) that could not stay the entire length over the holiday and returned home early.
Just an overall out-of-control, biting dog. No fun!
Bowzer’s family was always unsure if or when the next bite would happen, but one thing was for sure; is that it was going to happen again as Bowzer already had a proven track record of doing so.
Guys, I know so many of you out there are struggling, but there is no reason to have to live a smaller life because of the dog. It is possible in most situations to teach the dog what you want to allow and what you do not want to allow. Even if they had previous training.
Bowzer was one who already had previous training. Like most dogs who go through most common types of training, only teaching the commands has little to do with stopping unwanted behavior.
If you want to stop unwanted behavior, you need to learn how to stop unwanted behavior and that has nothing to do with commands. It has more to do with learning how to not tolerate unwanted behaviors. Simple.
So far Bowzer is able to hang out around dogs and go out in public with his family. Also, family from out of state have finally visited without issue.
When you’re ready to do the hard work, and you get to it, so many great things can happen. It’s not up to the dog to change, it’s up to the dog’s owner(s) to rise to the occasion and make the right changes.
Anyone can do it if they get the right help and are willing to do the work.
For those of you who are having success, please keep the updates coming! It helps give us the energy and drive to also continue to do the hard work in helping people. 😉
