Axel’s owner called me with a whole list of problem behaviors. Pulling on leash was the least of her worries, because in her words “any time I throw a ball overhand, he bites my arm and won’t let go” and “I haven’t been able to have him around men since the incident at the pet store”… just to quote a few. He was aggressive towards strangers and his owner didn’t know what to do.
Within the first lesson we had Axel under control (I even got him releasing a toy for me on command), and within a couple months we had him back out in public, calm around strangers, and much easier to predict and handle.
His behaviors started out so severe that rehoming would most likely not have been a responsible option, so Axel’s owner did not mince words when she said “You saved Axel’s life.”
