Stay N' Learn at Keshet

This is Silas, alothough he is a giant sucky sweetheart with people he knows and trusts, he has some serious territorial aggression due to fear. His owners were no longer able to leave him with a pet sitter at home and were at a loss of what to do. I have recently developed a working relationship with Keshet Kennels and suggested he go there with some added sessions with me. The first day I wasn't able to make handle him. In fact, even getting close to the kennel door was scary for most the attendants. With some perseverance, behaviour modification and time, I was able to take him out on his second day wearing his muzzle. Debbie, the kennel owner took these photos and sent the message along to this owners. What a great idea:)

Support the Yellow Dog Program!

Support the Yellow Dog Program!

This program is a much needed way of signalling to others that your dog requires spacial respect. Just as some humans require more space than others, so too do some dogs. This program can help avoid unnecessary altercations and discomfort. These yellow ribbon dogs can now be a part of society and their owners can help educate the public and rest easy knowing that their dog won't be set up for failure.

Fear Aggressive/Under-Socialized Dog

So, it's only taken me three years... but I finally edited and posted these clips to You Tube.
Watching back I realized how much my technique has improved. I'm always amazed how much every dog teaches you something new. This was also specifically nostalgic as three of the four members of my pack in this video have since passed away.  Benito, the Chihuahua is still going strong and loves to teach rude dogs to be respectful of his small but mighty body.
Please send comments:)
Cheers,
Jessica
