Tara the Rottweiler mix

Tara was rescued from the shelter and we didn't know much about her. Just that she was abandoned and that was maybe because she has some issues.

The first day we took her she was insane, pulling on the lead almost choking herself out, snapping and chasing everything that moved. In the beginning I did what I knew from past experiences and there was a change. Walking was fine, until we come across another dog. That to her was a fight to the death.

At this point I threw in the towel and decided we need professional help, so I contacted Sally. It was amazing watching her work and bring out the calm submissive and eager to learn dog out of the insane dominant Tara. As I suspected we were doing many things wrong. Just didn't know what. I knew Tara didn't see me as the pack leader but I didn't know how to become the pack leader. This is where Sally was able to help so much. Demonstrating how to correctly walk, play, feed parse and correct unwanted behaviour.

Tara still has a way to go but at least now we have tools deal with what ever comes our way. Every day is getting a little better and hopefully soon she will be a happy calm submissive dog and I will become a calm assertive leader that she trusts no matter what.

Kind Regards, Taz and the family.
