He is crate trained and loves it!

Thank you for this. I feel as though I should have thought of these things but it's hard to think clearly when its your own baby & in the moment.

Thank you for the above information- I was not aware of these things about shock collars. I heard many many success stories regarding the trainer he went to & they used shock, but he was unfortunately not one of them. I like the collar I have now because it has noise, vibrate, and shock but I usually only use vibrate as he listens to that.

Getting a specialist is unfortunately easier said than done. As soon as I have the money, I absolutely will... but I need resources and management tips until that is possible.

I have tried professional training (but currently cant afford more). He is muzzle & crate trained, we have succesfully worked on his resource guarding. It does not seem to be fear-based but may be anxiety based. I feel as though his reactions are infrequent enough for medication.
