Dog Name: Amber
Dog Age: 7 Yrs.
Dog Breed: Golden x Labrador Retriever
Behaviour issues:
Aggression to other dogs and lunging at bicyclists, joggers and motorcycles.
The family had adopted Amber less than a year ago. Amber quickly and quietly started taking the leadership role in the home. Shortly after, Amber was attacked by a neighbourhood dog while out walking. She became skittish and aggressive to other dogs and snapped at a 7 year old girl who was trying to kiss her head. The family has kids that are 5 and 7 so they were very concerned about the behaviours.
Outcome Descriptions:
At the first session Amber gave up the leadership role quickly. She really didn’t ever want it. We discussed rules for dogs and kids so that everyone in the family knew what to do. That very night the family took her for her walk past other dogs, street noises, bicycles and she was perfect.
Client Comment / Review:
Our dog, Amber, is seven, so we figured she was pretty set in her ways and we weren't sure if BarkBusters would actually work for her. Were we ever wrong! BarkBusters helped us correct Amber's behaviour with just one lesson. Our biggest single concern was that Amber was aggressive towards other dogs and was very hard to restrain. One lesson with BarkBusters taught us how to walk her properly, with no aggression on her part whatsoever. It's made a huge difference to her walks... for us and her.
