Dog Name: Mr. Bean and Troy
Dog Age: 3 years old and 1 year old respectively
Dog Breed: Chihuahua
Behaviour issues:
Dog aggression, sibling rivalry, fear aggression, barking, pulling on leash, coming when called, jumping up, obedience issues
Outcome Descriptions:
During my first visit to assess the situation that Michael and Maribeth were facing , I was honestly shocked at the level of aggression demonstrated by Mr. Bean towards Troy, and vice versa. Although the dogs were in separate rooms, they both insisted on growling, lunging, and attacking the doors. It was quite a sight!
After going over about an hour of talking with the owners, I discovered that the dogs were not even living in the same house due to safety concerns.
We decided to focus our effort primarily on Mr.Bean and gradually work on Troy. After leadership would be established, the actual integration of the dogs could be achieved.
Mr. Bean was truly a very nervous dog, and was unsure of who actually was taking care of his pack/family. This was also the case with Troy. Because of this confusion, both dogs,who were both of a nervous temperament were constantly in a struggle for leadership.
After weeks and weeks of constant effort, Michael and Maribeth were able to re-introduce the dogs.
I was so pleased to hear this.
This is why I love my job!
I can't be more pleased with the effort that the ENTIRE family put in to help rehabilitate the dogs :)
Client Comment / Review:
Hi this is Michael and Maribeth,
We wanted to share our experience with Bark Busters and especially with Nick Fabisiak from Bark Busters through the incredible technique Nick did teach us.
We have 2 Chihuahua,
First Mr. Bean that lived with us and is around 3 years old.
Bean was very aggressive and impossible to take anywhere. He was very protective and barked at any animal nonstop and had badly aggressive actions. We did not know how to stop bean, to calm down either control. It was a very hard time for us and for Bean.
We were suggesting to get Mr. Troy our 1 year old by now. Very calm very relaxed and very happy playful dog. But our try to connect bean with other dogs failed and socialize Bean with Troy was impossible. We had to keep Bean and Troy in different Houses separate.
We finally decided to talk to Bark Busters and we met Nick.
Nick is amazing in what he is doing. He was just a short time with us and Mr. Bean did what Nick wanted him to do. Wow, for us was it just impossible how Bean can be with just a simple technique as Nick uses for dog training. After Bean met Nick we kept Bean and Troy separately to focus on Beans behavior with help from the Family. Everybody did what Nick told us to do.
We got best results after a short period of time.
Finally we got Bean and Troy together in our place but in different rooms kept during the day. We focused on week after week to connect Bean and Troy slowly.
Today Bean and Troy are best Friends and can not stop play with each other. Also they decided themselves to eat and sleep together in there Doghouse in our apartment.
We have so much more peace in our place and can enjoy the happiness of Bean and Troy every day.
Thank you and Best Regards,
Michael & Maribeth
