Helping to keep dogs out of rescue South East Old English Sheepdog Rescue received calls from two families who wanted to place their dogs in rescue. After talking with the family it was clear that they felt the dog was intelligent and sought a lot of love. She was a bit rambunctious. Sandi Tansil and Mike Albers volunteered to discuss training with the family, provide names of trainers, and meet with them.
Last report is that the family is doing fine.
They are working out the training issues so that the dog is now blending well into the family. Another family in Louisiana also had the same problem. In this case their vet advised that the pup be placed in Rescue. The vet did not understand the nipping and chewing so felt the dog was unpredictable despite the fact that she had not shown any aggression. The trainer agrees that there is no behavior problem that cannot be corrected with training.
