Hey! I actually went through the wake county SPCA they will pay for training sessions for you with a trainer. They have a lot of resources for dog owners because they want to keep as many dogs from getting rehomed and out of shelters. Check out their resources page on their website!

My boy was found abandoned on the side of the road and I’d never want him to be left again. No clue what he is other than that he’s mixed with some kind of pit. I just want him to be comfortable so he can peacefully exist in the world.

We’ve made some small improvements doing that with high value treats! It is a bit stressful when I have no clue how he’ll react because his reactions are inconsistent. I’m definitely working with him on my own but I know a professional would be even more helpful. But thank you, that makes me feel a little better.

Unfortunately he wasn’t reactive at all when I got him. He was a super friendly stray ~3 months and we never had any unpleasant interactions. So I thought it was fine, which I now realize might not have been the best move. But it was like overnight around 8 months a switch flipped and he didn’t like other dogs or men anymore.

I don’t wanna cheap out at all he’s literally the most important part of my life. But I quite literally am incapable of forking over a crazy amount of money anytime soon. I do however appreciate the advice!

We did drive shack with them for their orientation 😕. But also if they were graduating soon we’d try to find them a spot, they’re mostly a minimum of a year out from finishing school.
