After getting to a nice spot on the process we decided to give him a break and start to work with his sister Betsy which was causing some problems to her parents.
Betsy was showing the same type of behaviour around other dogs as Alfie, by barking and lunging at them.
Although, after a couple of sessions, we had a really good improvement and right now we are able to pass by other dogs without much of a problem.
We are still working to achieve better results but this is just another proof that It Is Possible to achieve amazing results with Positive Reinforcement when dealing with Aggressive or Reactive Behaviour.
Yes, these are dogs of a small breed, but dogs are dogs and Behaviour is Lawfull, so the same applies to bigger and stronger breeds.
You will easily find on my video library, videos of my work with others breeds as well like German Shepherds, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and other big and strong, mixed breeds.
All trained through Positive Reinforcement.
If your dog is showing Reactivity or Aggressivity towards anything, and the "that trainer" told you that it is not possible to improve the behaviour of your dog, or it is through aversive tools like choke chains or e-collars, do not believe him.
Get in touch with me, I can certainly help you and your Dog better.
Thank you,
Dog Behaviourist Ricardo Ministro
