My reminder to you…help your pet to succeed by looking for those teachable moments to tell him/her GOOD!. If your pet is not behaving in a way that you like, it is not because he is trying to be bad or obstinate, he/she simply has a skill deficit. Teach him what he needs to know in a positive way and watch how eager he is to practice what he has learned.
Understanding and responding to your dog’s body language and dog stress signals is a very important piece of keeping everyone
I’m sharing this story of a family’s hope with dog aggression, as I am so extremely proud of the progress we are making, and to educate and offer hope to other families. In complex dog behavior cases like this, it is important to look at the impact of many variables – genetics, physiology, environment, learning history among them.
