Hi Karen L,
Thanks for contacting me. I am available to help you with your dog-to-dog aggression issue. I find this issue to be a very interesting aspect of dog training.
Dogs cannot understand our words. So when we teach them new behaviors, we have to be very creative in trying to explain how we want them to change.

We got Juju from the Humane Society in 2016 and she is very sweet and eager to please. She initially had some big separation anxiety issues but has moved past that, and she used to cry when we gave her stuffed animals but is now playing with them. She cowers if you raise your voice at her even a little, and we think she may have been abused in the past. She has gotten a lot better with this also (although we don’t yell to discipline her anyway). However, she is dog aggressive and we aren’t really sure how to approach that one. She gets along with our birds and our neighbor’s cat, but she cannot stand dogs being in her face. She will be initially interested, wag her tail and whine. If its a small dog, the fur on her spine will lift and she’ll whine, but if a dog gets close enough she growls viciously. We didn’t know she made any noise until she was approached by her first dog. Ive read your resume, your curriculum and the rest of your website, and I am very impressed with all of the work you have done and the way you approach dog behavior and training. Do you think you could work with us and Juju, and possibly help her improve? She is great the way she is, but we are afraid of what will happen if she ever slips out of the house somehow, or what will happen if we need to fly with her. She loves the beach but we cant take her because of the other dogs there. I think it would be a very enriching thing, if we could help her overcome this.

Juju is a “terrier mix” (we don’t know what kind of dog she is) and she knows sit, lay down, come, wait, and she is bad at roll over but she can do it. She gets distracted walking but a little tug of the leash will usually get her back on track.

Thank you very much,
Karen
