  Dog Aggressive Dog: Round 3  Wednesday Feb 22, 2012 I take my 2 dogs over to be walked with Massi and Gordon.  Massi is the dog-aggressive dog that I am working with to help her trust other dogs again.  On this occasion I am going to not use a muzzle on Massi when she meets with my 2 dogs.   I took a very short video of meeting, which is not a great video, because I am concentrating on watching for any signs of aggression from Massi, but it will give you an idea of how it went.    You will see that when Massi tries to rush in to quickly I hold her back twi ..read more

Meet Massi: Step 1:  Do a little basic training with ..read more

  Its amazing what a dog can sense without any visual cues.  I took Jake and Lucy for a long walk while my wife Joanne had gone out to do some shopping.  After a little over an hour we returned and the dogs were really excited to get home which is unusual.  I didn’t know that my wife had returned because she had put the car in the garage.  When I let the dogs in the house they charged right in and searched for Joanne and found her right away and gave her the full body waggle. How did they know that she was there?  Did they smell her?  Did they sense that sh ..read more
