Rehab Day 1

This morning, I took them for a 8km run along the bike, together..both wearing dominat dog collars! After, we have returned home, they were placed into the crates, left to rest for an hour and we took off, for a 2 hour walk. During the walk, they are not allowed ground sniffing, marking or an eye contact with each others! No single signs of aggression durring this process! Coming out of the doors, it's an issue for Nero, so before each walk, they are placed on the side, facing each others, and are not released, until they both relax! Nero started to slowly give in, and showing respect, towards me.

Tonight, I walked them for an hour, before feeding. At dinner time, there were no signs of aggression at all. Both dogs had to eat from a bowls, while I was holding them... Day 1 it's over, so far..so good...Both, now resting in their crates!!! Myself, I'm completely exhausted, but happy..:)

Rehabilitation program on solving dog to dog aggression

Tyson has been sent to a rehabilitation centre, for almost 3 weeks, to help him overcome aggression problems and eating issues. He has returned last night, completely changed...no signs of aggression towards dogs, no urge to try and dominate other male dogs, and no issues during feeding time! Rebecca and her pack have done and excellent job!!! Thank you so much, guys!!!!! xx

Nero was undergoing pack structure program, alone with me.. attempted few visit to the centre, where he was introduced to the pack, and started to learn socialization... He started to show some differences in behaviour a week into his program... Last night, he was introduced back with Tyson... Now, we working on bringing them back together, and teaching them to co-exist...
