[YorkieMother]

Oh my I see my brain is not working well lets try this again.

"The other to my knowledge has been ever so graced with an aggressive dogs to the level that the other has."

Should read ... the other to my knowledge has never been graced with an aggressive dog/yorkie to the level that the other has and not many can that have aggressive yorkies as bad as the first one owns and still be alive and functioning at the level it is.

There is and always will be a fundamental different between someone that owes and works an aggressive dog or with aggressive dogs and the way they deal with things even in a new 'normal" dog. As we know what the down side and the painful side of aggression is and we never want to see it again and we tend all of us that work dogs as bad as in need of expert care like PHD board certified behaviour people not just a good aggression trainer tend to make sure that we proof our dogs over the top and everyday.

We find the greatest achievement is not a ribbon on the wall although that be great but when the lay person that comes to touch your dog or allow their dog to interact with yours and you say no sorry you can not she/he is aggressive, it be a wreak.... and you hear no way it is better behaved then mine look at it sit looking at you. Then comes the how do you do it and a passing of a business card cause you never want to push the wee one sitting going Mom !!!! dog looking at me get it away ....to far to the break point.

PS I usually only work small aggressive dogs ( or the normal guys) cause not to many around here like working with the faster moving piranhas like I do.
