training day for jack

[little coojy]

well tomorrow is jacks (jack russell) first day of training with bark busters, i've told the trainer coming that he's bitten and she knows he's aggressive, thats why were having her, do you think she would expect him to be muzzled?

It's up to you, but muzzling him will only make him on edge as he will know somehting is up. Have it handy just in case, but it's best to leave it to her. As she is for warned she'll know not to approach him, when she comes in make you dog wait somewhere else and then let him in to see you and her, don't let him make the decision to greet her first, let him see you greet her at ease and then his guard will go down, if you're on edge then he will be on edge.

Good luck

Can you let me know how you get on, my dog is the same and we are going to contact barkbusters too. even though we will pre-warn them of him being aggressive when they come, im worried about how it will all go. Id like to hear about it & how they approach the siuation. thanks x

will do, my trainer is jackie she should be here 2.30 today first day usually 2-3 hours, i'm getting nervous now, jack not in a good mood today (typical grumpy man lol)

[little coojy]

well, im impressed, first day of training and already there is a change. jackie was great stayed nearly 4 hours, great advice and step by step training, took total history of dogs behavior and explained everything totally shes coming back in 2 weeks and ive been left with homework training to do, all of family can't believe change from just a few hours, got to keep training up to keep him good, but its not hard or nasty to do, would definatly recomend them to anyone with a problem dog of any kind.

Glad it all went well for you both! Thanks for the update, hopefully we will get the same result! x
