They will give you a detailed plan to work on with Charlie.
I don't know anyone who had a positive experience with "boot camp," especially for a dog who is fear aggressive. Instead it often results in more problems.
I have rehabbed several fearful and fear aggressive dogs and it took a lot of work and time but it is possible. |
You mentioned that you have rehabbed several fearful and fear aggressive dogs....any advice? We are currently working on Counter Conditioning and positive association. I would hate to send him to a boot camp, but I am getting nervous that my experience isn't enough to get him on the right track. He's a great dog, just has some tendencies to be nervous and skiddish around other people.
