5/5
With tears in my eyes as I write this, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to express my gratitude enough for Brigitte.
About a month ago, I came across a dog from a previous litter of mine at Animal Control. Without hesitation, I brought him home. We quickly found out that he wasn’t friendly towards other dogs when he attacked my other dog. A person was caught in the crossfire, and both human and dog had to receive emergency medical treatment.
Concerned that this dog was a lost cause and would never work through his dog-aggression, I began looking for other homes and considering behavioral euthanasia. I received nearly 100 comments and messages stating that he needed to be put down.
With nowhere else to go, I reached out to Brigitte. Immediately, she called me and spoke with me for over an hour, walking me through steps on helping this boy. She was incredibly knowledgeable and confident that as long as she was able to train me, we could train him.
Today, we went for our first walk through Lowes. We encountered four dogs total (3 with muzzle on, 1 outside without muzzle). Not once did my boy bark, growl, or exhibit any signs of aggression. I was quickly able to get his attention back on me and even got him to lay down with another dog only 10 feet away.
While this is going to be a lot of work, requiring long term consistency, I could never be more thankful for all of Brigitte’s help and guidance. She saved this boy’s life and helped set us on the right path.
