I don't believe I suggested training classes to you bc I was aware of your schedule at this time, and there was a lot of basic things you could do at home to begin to turn things around for Bdog. Bdog did not develop into what she is today overnight, and she will not change into a better behaved dog overnight either.
After giving the situation some more thought, I think you, DF, and Bdog would benefit more by having a trainer come to the apartment, to access Bdog's lifestyle and attitude, and to access your and DF's interactions with her.
Also, this is something you could do right away, as a trainer could be scheduled on any day or evening you and DF are available. I think this may be better, as a trainer may see something that we here are not aware of, and you just haven't thought to mention. Not that you're hiding anything, just that you may not recognize something as being important, where a trainer would, and could make a better accessment of the situation, and thereby make more appropriate recommendations. |
