My dogs have changed

2 comments

It has been three months since I brought Tyler home from the shelter. He has come out of his shell and is quite a tyrant. He is very hyper and barks non stop at anything and anyone. He has caused our other dog to bark along with him. Tyler has turned out to be alpha and thinks he rules the roost. As of the day Zootoo came to our shelter, April 15, I met a certified trainer. She has since come to our house and is now working with both dogs. I will have to say Mattie bit her on the first session and Tyler is so bad she has had to put him down in submission, (like Ceasar does), more than once. I hope we can bring these dogs around to the way they should be acting. This is a little stressful. I love dogs and will never give up on them.

First of all, Kudos to you, Stevie, for adopting adult dogs from abusive and neglectful backrounds! That takes a lot of heart. Second, have you considered private training? Sam Mastroani (spelling?) seems great- he's the guy that spoke at our last volunteer meeting. Awesome trainer! Also, Judith Levy- she is an animal behavioral consultant. There a lot of this around, and I'd recommend private or in home training and consultation . . . if you would like phone number let me know.

But mainly, I think it is great what you have done for mattie and tyler. I remember how they looked before you adopted them, and my, what handsome guys they have become!

OOPS! I just re-read your entry and you already have someone working with the little guys. I really hope it works!~
