Dog Name:  Thunder

Dog Age:  6 mos.

Dog Breed:  Mixed Breed

Behaviour issues: 

Overprotective of food bowl, Barking at owner and a bite to the owner

Onyx was overprotective of her food. Was excitable and highly mouthy, chewing on the hand of anyone trying to pet her, puppy bared her teeth at female owner which began at 4 ½ months. She then began growling when owners put her bowl down or if they stood within a few feet while she ate.  When they called the Springer had bitten the husband’s hand and drawn blood.

Outcome Descriptions: 

:Onyx has had a complete turnaround; no longer demand barks at her owners for everything and no longer feels she has to protect the food bowl. She is calm and her mouthiness which was due to her anxieties also has stopped.

Client Comment / Review: 

We had tried several other techniques and we had made things worse, we are so grateful to you for removing the stress and tension. We are now enjoying a real puppy. Not only was the situation affecting our attitude towards her, thinking we had ourselves a little monster you also saved our relationship. We plan on enjoying Onyx for many years to come. Thank you so much for your help, advice and kind attention.
