Brutal, abusive (truly) training methods?

I just feel so sick right now. Grimm also has a swollen lump with a partially healed owie on the handler's side of his muzzle. He also is strangely sluggish, just barely chugging too slow (almost behind me) on walks, and non-reactive to me manipulating all of his owies, and he just sleeps and sleeps. DH, Ulrich, wonders if he may have been drugged to seem docile for a few days. Or, in all honesty, he may have just been exhausted from not getting much sleep for 4 weeks. We did go to the vet. We did take pics. The vet doesn't want to commit herself to saying for sure what (may have)caused the muzzle wound and mysterious behind-the-paw-pads wounds. But, I could read her face about what she thought. And yes, it could well be the edge of the kennel flooring, or a fence (Europe has cement fences with imbedded glass, razorwire tops, etc.. but who would have such around dogs turned out 10 hours a day?). Grimm is not at all handshy now, but then, he has a solid temperament... is a trusting boy. He trusted me.

I just feel sick. Sick, sick, sick.

Thanks for the well-wishes. Val, yes, Grimm has super nerves, and these could be kennel injuries... could be. There is more I don't feel comfortable saying here. Just that I just want my Grimm to never be hurt.

This morning, a dog suddenly exploded out of our building at us this morning as we came up the walkway towards home. Grimm exploded back, yanking me nearly off my feet. Then, in the middle of town, Grimm exploded at a dog he saw, again nearly sending me flying. The trainer said he may work with us a few times in our neighborhood, but, this rests with us from now on. I am hoping Grimm just needs more time to appreciate my new queen-of-the-walk attitude. Clearly, not enough work was done by the trainer on erradicating this longstanding habit of onlead lunging/barking. I have misgivings about the way Grimm was treated. I am trying all I know to love, spoil, and be kind to my SnugglePig right now.. while remaining queen of the walks. Grimm's safety is my priority. I need to be safe, too.. and apparently, the training was not what I hoped.

I am putting iodine salve on his wounds. My sweet boy.
