Vet Visit

   Several weeks ago i was called in regards to a 4 month old German Shepherd who wanted to eat his vet. The dog was refused future visits due to its aggression. Today i took him to my vet for training and the dog was put through a mock exam of his ears, teeth, stomach, paws and even had his temp taken. The dog did not growl, whine or show any signs of aggression and very little tension. So what happened? When i first started with the dog he tried several times to bite me. This dogs only problem was he did not know how to deal with stress. He was by nature a demanding little guy and he only responded the way any dog may under stress. Read my blog on how dogs deal with stress. During my training he learned how to deal with stress and that the correct behavior gets rewarded. When you get a new puppy, see if your vet will allow you to come in and just visit a little. Let him learn that its not a bad place. Give your dog rules to live by and make him a bigger part of your life! Be sure to visit http://www.shannondogtraining.com/
