In this video, I'm sharing the complete, uncensored journey Remy and I have shared since I adopted him, covering the good, the bad, the ugly, and the bruises!
Adopting Remy turned my world upside down, and I struggled the most I ever have that first year with my reactive, behaviorally-challenged, high-arousal dog. There were many times where I thought about giving up. When I thought there was no way out. It was grueling work but I'm happy to say we're in a much better place today.
If you've ever found yourself completely overwhelmed with a dog who has behavior issues, this video is for you. We see you. You are not alone!
**IMPORTANT: I am not looking for feedback or advice about what I "did wrong" in clips shown within this video. I am aware I made many mistakes in my early days with Remy. This is NOT a training video or guide, it's me sharing a very personal story from my life. Please be respectful and honor my vulnerability in sharing one of the most difficult times of my life.
