Dog Name: Gaadi
Dog Age: 8 Yrs.
Dog Breed: Jack Russel Terrier
Behaviour issues:
Charging the front door, jumping and nipping at guests (including the client's small grandchildren), uncontrollable barking inside the house and in the yard. Frenetic pulling on the lead and growling at other dogs.
Gaadi was adopted at age 4 from a home where he spent all day in a crate. He was not socialized to people or dogs. Jackie was tired of not being able to have guests to her home, especially her 2 grandchildren. He would go ballistic at the door bell. Walking Gaadi was not pleasant and he was not getting the amount of exercise that he needed.
Outcome Descriptions:
Gaadi is now behaved when guests come. Jackie has control of how and when he greets people. He is quiet in the house and in the yard and calmer in general. Jackie now enjoys her walks with him and as a result, he gets many more.
Client Comment / Review:
I highly recommend BarkBusters for anyone with a dog that has any type of behavioural problem. There has been a tremendous improvement in my Jack Russell. I never understood the leadership role and that I was part of the problem. I am fully confident in the program and my trainer who is totally competent and the fact that Barkbusters will always be there for me and my dog is so important. Today was the best of all. I just came back from our morning walk. Across the street was a lady with another Jack Russell Terrier. I decided to cross the street slowly, controlling him when he got excited. I spoke to the lady for several minutes and controlled Gaadi at my feet. We ended up doing our walk together with the two Jack Russell Terriers and Gaadi passed with flying colours. I am so proud of him. Anyone who asks now how I get Gaadi to listen when we walk, I tell them it's because of Bark Busters.
