The abuse on an open male turned Buddy from Dr. Jeckle to Mr. Hyde. He became so irate from this treatment that he growled and snapped at everyone. We were considering having to put him down. After consultation and coaching from Gary, together with much determination and extreme patience, Buddy has made a big turn-around. In his recovery he has earned his American TD and the Canine Good Citizen certificate.
Buddy still associates the show ring with abuse.
I will never subject him to that stress again. He still loves working in the open field though. We are still hoping to get our American TDX and possibly the VST titles. He's our Best Friend and we love him dearly. Super K9 Internet Directory Ltd. All rights reserved.
