I first met Grace when Maisie was just a puppy. At the time I did not realize that Maisie was slowly developing anxiety and fear (leading into fear aggression). Maisie’s behaviour was becoming unpredictable and her reactions started to escalate to barking, chasing or attempting to ‘air-bite’ at the heals of anyone coming or leaving our home.
I remembered the conversation I had with Grace and decided it was time to give her a call.
Maisie has been enrolled in dog manners, obedience and other training, but nothing was working. The problems were not at the training classes … most of her issues were at home ‘protecting her space’.
Grace explained the dog behaviour and that I (we) needed to take on a stronger leaders position with her. My partner and I have been using the tools and applying her advice and instruction – I am amazed at the changes we are seeing in our pet, our home and in us as Maisie’s handlers.
Grace, thank you for sharing your knowledge, skills and honest forthright guidance. You are indeed the Dog Whisperer…and we are reaping the benefits of your instruction and our calmer home.
