Dog training

Well since the story last night was such a big hit, it turns out that I have another one for tonight! I got to work with one of my favorite dogs today. His name is Lycan. When I first saw him a few months ago he was one of the most dangerous dogs I have ever seen! His owner, a small framed woman who weighs in at 100lbs, had been giving him lots of affection, without any discipline. As Lycan grew up, that lack of leadership started to show its ugly head, and Lycan became a vicious dog that would attack any person or dog that he came into contact with him. After his initial meeting with me where he tried to rip my head off, I was able to earn his trust, and we began the long journey of rehabilitation. After a couple of months, I got to go and visit him to check on his progress. Dog training is an process not an event. The owner has been working with Lycan and I was pleased to see that he was doing better. This is a credit to his owner. This is just another example of how well rehabilitation goes when the humans realize that the problem lies with them and not the dog. I am proud to report that Lycan is a completely different dog today. As you can see in the pictures, he is happy, and no longer trying to rip my head off! Please do not give up on your dogs, seek professional help, your dog is worth it, and it is your responsibility. The reward for helping a dog that would be put down to become a well balanced dog that is a productive loving member of your family is something you just cannot put a price on! If we could only fix our marriages, and our children so easily. I do that work as well, but the fee’s are out of this world! LOL! I have yet to meet a dog that could not be rehabilitated in the hands of the right person. Dogs are such a blessing to have, and they do not grow up to borrow your car or marry men that you do not approve of! After everybody has left, that dog you worked so hard to have will still be right there at your feet looking at you with those loving eyes.
