I didn't mean to hijack your thread!
I really want to help him overcome this fear. That's really my main objective. If eventually we decide it isn't going to happen, I'll just train him at home. He's a funny little dog. He'll be curled up in a ball at the facility but as soon as I get him home he's trying to steal toys from our lab mix. He doesn't seem to harbor his trauma outside of that place! Sadie is going to begin training this summer to be a therapy dog. I really wanted him to have that opportunity also. I'm just not sure it's going to happen - and that's ok too! I work as an assistant there also. It is such a good loving place and everything was perfect till this happened. If there's any way to get Beemer past this I want to do it. If not - we'll just live with what we've got.
Thanks so much for caring!
