We brought in a golden mix whose family told us “Oh, don’t worry about the growly/barky/lunging behavior. With a simple NO NO he will stop. He is just being protective”. With our one bite policy, we were concerned we were not getting the whole story and it would be impossible to place the dog. After 15 days with Jay, he could tell us so much about the dog and we were confident we could place him in a foster, then a forever, home. We learned that he did stop with a simple Eh Eh and that hewas being protective. Jay told us that he will need socialization with people and places and a confident leader so that he doesn’t have to worry about being in charge. He discovered the dog was quite obedient and willing to listen. I had him in my home for a few days and found him to be a delightful little dog. He will probably never be perfect, but at least we know what kind of family to look for. His new home will have more structure and leadership and continued socialization. Jay’s in-home training setup gave him 24/7 interaction with the dogs and his knowledge of dog behavior is phenomenal. We look forward to having him help us with our next problem dog.
