Dog Name: Cocktail
Dog Age: 2 mos.
Dog Breed: Giant Schnauzer
Behaviour issues:
Barking at dogs / strangers, barking at door, barking in backyard, pulling on leash
Cocktail & her owner love to go for car rides, the only problem is that Cocktail barked non-stop! This was deafening to her owner and placed limits on where and how often she could take Cocktail in the car. Cocktail also barked at people coming into the house and lunged on leash when she saw a distraction, which to her was anything from a leaf to a motorcycle!
Outcome Descriptions:
Marco and Christianne were able to go through a drive through window for a coffee with Cocktail sitting quietly in the back seat with her doggie seatbelt on. She is going on a road trip this summer and her owner won't have to wear earplugs! Cocktail can now go for a walk without jerking on her leash at every distraction that goes by. Walking her has become a pleasant experience rather than a chore.
