As I said before his is not for a fine tuning which is what I need.
This is not a blow up in your face aggression thing with the food guarding, as it stands now and is with a dog that goes into collapse with anything other then a ahah.
Even seen a dog have an adrenilne dump. Not pretty at all.
Do you even know what that is? Until November I not even heard of it.
I rather not have seen it and never again do I want to.
So I like to do this in multiple steps and go extremely slow. Without the dog tossing off calming signals even other second. Any idea what a calming signal is? How and why a dog uses it and the many diffenrnt ways it can be used?
I have seen him work and for me it will not work for others they can do as they wish.
But after having come close not once but twice to haveing no choice but to put my girl down as her brain got so badly scrambled, I am not willing at this time to play around with anything less than a hands off and overly gentle way. Hands off meaning my hands or anyone elses never need to touch her to teach anything.
I can not have to call my vet crying saying " we are lossing her ever again."
Watch my girl shake and spin and slam herself into a tree because she so hurt in her head she does not know how to stop it.
I am lucky I have one of the best aggression behaviourist in my area to work with and that is who I will be takeing guidence from. One who was held my girl in her arms and was hurt when I hurt and loves this girl as much ass I do.
That even smiles and celabrates the small joys of the baby steps of progress like her laying down at the office or backing out of a problem and asking for help.
Do you know what it looks like for a dog to ask for help?
This is serious stuff I am doing for me it is my dogs life and her being able to be comfortable here in the world.
This still could come down to her not being here and that is a fact I have had to face. One of which in my attempt to teach I had hope non of you will ever have to face because of aggression.
May non of you ever be where I have been.
Thanks for all your input.
