Aggressive, Fearful, Protective Terrier Mix Obedience Trained

Oh Ziggy, Ziggy. Deep down he was a sweet boy but years and years of bossy, entitled, anxious and fearful patterned behaviors was turning him into a aggressive, bossy, entitled, even more fearful mess. His family was not enjoying him, his other house mate, Cosmo was often the receiver of his aggression and the new twin babies were his new target. Something had to give. His owners contacted me the day after he guarded a baby toy and we set him up for a three week board and train due to his severe behaviors. The video shows you his progression, the steps I went through, and his increased confidence in me and himself. Ziggy was a super fun project and I was happy to be able to provide his family with the balance they've needed for the last 7 years.
Now Ziggy is the good dog in the house and Cosmo is signed up for board and train Feb 2017!
TESTIMONIAL FROM ZIGGY'S OWNER:
My husband and I had lived with Ziggy’s terrible behavior for seven long years. He was so leash reactive that we rarely took him out of the house, he bullied our other dog, and he generally got his way through whining and growling. When he growled at my infant daughter, that was the final straw and I called Karen the next day. Three weeks with Karen have made an enormous difference. With the place command, Ziggy gets to spend time with the family, instead of staying locked behind gates or in the back yard. He is amazing on a leash, he is much calmer in the house, and he listens to me and my husband when we give commands. I think the most impressive change is Ziggy no longer feels entitled to every scrap of food that falls on the kitchen floor! He’s not perfect, but he has continued to improve since he came home and Karen has given my husband and I the skills to address mistakes. We are so grateful for Karen’s training!"
UPDATE: One year later, Karen also trained our second dog and Ziggy and Cosmo are doing great. The dogs have much more confidence and are very well behaved on their walks. Our veterinarian cannot believe the change she has seen in Ziggy. Ziggy is MUCH more relaxed around the kids and we no longer feel like we have to constantly watch him around them. He understands that baby toys and baby food do not belong to him and he listens to us and responds when we need him to go to Place. Our family is much happier with calm, confident dogs." --Emily S., Tempe, AZ
