For Your K9, Inc

A couple months ago, my Mom brought our new 6 month old rescue here for training. He was exhibiting aggressiveness to strangers and just overall very untrusting. He is the sweetest dog at home but struggles with people in public. When we brought our dog for an evaluation here, very quickly the trainer said she assumed him to be developmentally delayed and that "it wasn't looking good" for our dog. After being basically told put down our dog, we immediately left the trainer. Now our dog is two years old and we have discovered what the trainer assumed to be "developmental disabilities" were actually a result of abuse and neglect early in his life. Instead of punishing him for his past we helped him work through his issues. We sought out the proper trainer who was willing to invest the time in our dog and he has come a very long way. He is far from perfect but we gave him a chance and he's a very happy dog. He was worth it and thankfully we were able to look past this quick and incorrect evaluation and save him from the fate the trainer suggested. If your dog has any actual behavioral issues I wouldn't take them here.
