A TRUE LIFESAVER
January 2008 we brought to our home a 10 week old black ball of fur. Our ball of fur grew and as she did so became a fearful, timid, aggressive German Shepherd monster. We had to keep her away from strangers, in or out of our house.
Recognizing a serious situation, we turned to the Classified Ads and found what seemed to be an answer to our problem. A home consultation with the trainer was arranged. The puppy performed as she did around all strangers-aggressive, vicious barking, fur up and tail between her legs. Upon seeing this we were told she was incorrigible, a danger to everyone including us and euthanasia was the only answer. We were devastated, but not convinced that there was no other solution.
Back to the Classified Ads. This time we found “My Dog Needs Help”. That was definitely true! Another home consultation, this time with Jerry Mace. The puppy reacted just as she did to the first trainer. However, Jerry said “She is not incorrigible. I can and will work with her”. Our prayers were answered.
With infinite patience, skill, love and lots of hot dog bites, Jerry won her trust and friendship. After six sessions, she now walks by our side when leashed, stays until called and greets strangers with a friendly bark welcoming their pat on her head.
