A woman and her daughter came to our place today because they haven't been able to go on holiday for years because, they say, their dog is too aggressive with other people to be boarded.
They were just bringing him down to test him out with us to see if we could 'cope' with him when no-one else could.
They got him out, with a muzzle on, and dad took over leading him away to the kennel. The dog was good as gold! It wasn't the dog that was the problem, it was the owner...
The owner was so nervous around the dog that she was worrying it scared. Later dad said 'I'll try taking the muzzle off and taking him for a walk' she said 'nooo no you can't do that its too dangerous!'...
Anyway whilst they were having lunch we did take the muzzle off and did take him for a walk and he was fine
Just shows what a bit of calm confidence around dogs can do for them. We could stroke him, play with him, take him in and out of the kennel and I didn't see any signs of aggression all day.
Needless to say the owner and her daughter are booking a holiday as we speak
