Hi from Canada

[Rudysmom]

Rudy and I live outside of Toronto Canada. He was a rescue and adopted by us at 8 months. He had fear aggression issues and has spent time in Vermont with Kevin. We still have a ways to go but are certain we are up to the challenge. We also have Tobias, a mixed breed medium-sized older fellow and an old grey cat with a crumpled ear and major attitude. They have one-half acre fenced for their backyard, lots of exercise and love. Life is good.

Hi

I'm also the mom to a Rudy - my 12 yo cocker. My other opportunity dog Lou, is also a cocker. He spent a few days at Kevin's.

How long was your Rudy at Kevin's? What were you instructed to do with him once he got home?

Welcome

Lacey

Hi, Rudy was with Kevin for three weeks. It was a great opportunity for him. He was raised in an apartment with no appreciable exercise so to be in the woods and run free with another dog would have been a joy to him. When we returned to Canada we were to keep pushing, tug, fight for tug but mostly just relax and let him be a dog. Because we had worked through issues I was told to expect him to regress and display puppy behavior. He did he chewed a couple of items etc but nothing major. We still have work to do but Rudy is a great dog. He is intelligent, gentle and easy to train. Being a GSD he is protective. We are working to clarify to him how intense he is to be protective and to whom.
