Instead of the tip of the day, I wanted to share my experience with Chico the aggressive pit bull I have been working with.
I am so proud of Chico's family! They have been able to follow through with everything I ask of them, and when I saw Chico tonight, it was plain to see that they had been working really hard to save this beautiful dog. Chico was one of the worst cases of fear aggression that... I have worked with. It was about as bad as it gets! This is one of those cases where if the owners had surrendered the dog, he would have been put down right away. That would have been a real shame! The owners were willing to listen, and accept that what they had been doing was not working. That is why they have had such success. Chico was a different dog tonight. Just look at him in the picture. He is still wearing a muzzle around strangers just as a precaution, but it is clear by the picture that he is well on his way. Keep in mind that this was a dog that had shown aggression towards his owners. Dogs depend on us, so if we make mistakes that lead to bad behavior, it is our responsibility to step up and help the dog. Dogs are not objects to throw away, but a gift from God! I am so proud to have been a part of this, and it goes to show you that dogs deserve a second chance, and when the humans get it right, the dogs fall right in line. I love this family, and I love Chico! WAY TO GO!!!!!!!
