Hi Dave.
Not sure I can give you 100% sound advice because of two reasons:
1. I’ve been slacking a bit on the training.
2. I’m not a full time dog trainer yet.
Nevertheless, we have 6 dogs (all except one rescues with their own past) and I’ve had as many as 13 dogs at home a few months ago (fostering some rescues, which gradually became less…[Read more]

Fear aggression, dominance aggression, defense What? Can’t put my finger on it.

I finally had a call back from a trainers assistant, and told requirements for them to take us as a client, and like to see if it is common.
