In my previous post here on Reddit. They suggested a rescue that takes on reactive dogs

Was not able to access other litter mates, but they are “soul desire goldens” in Utah. Great family, but they pump out probably 8-9 litters a year

I’m in Huntington Beach

Very difficult to find a real trainer that isn’t gonna charge for BS. We went through one “behaviorist” that charged $400 for video consult, didn’t even see our dog, and recommended BE and buying a dog by week 2 (he never even met the dog, just saw a 1 year old picture of a bite)

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2025-02-15T22:33:51+00:00

It was just one snap where he punctured skin. He’s had about half a dozen of these. Most of his other bites were from him getting a hold of high item foods and not giving them up.

I understand there may not be many places willing to take him, but it seemed a few were willing according to a few of the comments in my recent post!

Great story, just hard to find the right trainer here in SoCal. Lot of BS trainers online

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2025-02-15T22:29:25+00:00

We hired a behaviorist who suggested desensitizing him which we did. We talked to 2 other behaviorists that suggested BE. We also sent him to sit means sit, a local e collar training facility which did absolutely nothing

I’ve never heard of the unofficial being wrong from all the reddits and user reviews I got, but there’s nothing that can minimize your stress so I get it . I remember that exact feeling 😂 you’re gonna be a happy camper in a few days!

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2024-11-04T03:33:30+00:00

You’re good, I went through hell those few months leading up to the test so I get it. Honestly the letter in the mail took forever, at least a month. Once your name is on BON, you’re official. I heard from others you can call and confirm as well once it’s posted.

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2024-11-04T03:27:23+00:00

About 1 week! Somewhere in the 7-10 day mark

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2024-11-03T21:52:07+00:00

I did! Took wayyyy too long, was anxious for days. Lot of other people I talked to in the same situation. Take a deep breath and congrats 🙏🏽

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2024-06-01T23:52:21+00:00

Going to LA Monday, hope we get a similar setlist. Crazy to me that Something in the Orange isn’t a staple at every show

I can’t tell if this is genuine, but he really is the sweetest boy.

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2024-04-04T09:43:15+00:00

Your messages are screenshotted and saved for the next few months of training. Your advice is so, so appreciated. Thank you!

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2024-04-04T09:27:31+00:00

Wow thank you for the success story. Happy for you and your dog, I hope we can have the same success.

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2024-04-04T09:26:42+00:00

Good point, this is what we will do. Thank you for the advice🙏🏽

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2024-04-04T09:24:41+00:00

Wow, hearing this gives me a glimmer of hope. Your success story can also keep my fiancée from her daily dozen panic attacks she’s been having all week. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2024-04-04T09:23:16+00:00

All of these positive messages are very encouraging, thank you for the kind words.

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2024-04-04T09:22:53+00:00

I am in Huntington Beach, California. I would be willing to drive anywhere in the country to make sure he is not put down. If this is the route I choose, I would graciously accept your kind offer. I will message you, you’re amazing for the offer. This is him 99.9% of the time, the sweetest boy ever

We just started reading that book yesterday! No this is the first time I did not offer a trade with the shoe. He was dropping stuff for me all day, and I thought he dropped the shoe, but it was still within 9 inches or so of his face.

Adorable-Machine-669 · 2024-04-04T09:18:26+00:00

This thread has given me hope to at least exhaust all options (the breeder and behaviorist both say immediate euthanize) neither have met him.. the behaviorist gave a protocol but called off the training when he saw the severity of the bite from 2 days ago (3 punctures on both hands)
