    Essex dog trainer

    Ok I understand training must be tailored to the individual dogs needs but what I trying to understand is it the whole dominance and pack theory plays a role in your training sessions

    Puppy, youngster or older dog?

    I got Marley at 13 months from rescue, he was hard work but is amazing. He lived with our other neutered male until he passed dec last year. He isnt dominant i wouldnt say, he can get on lovely with many dogs, his hackles go up on walks out of slight anxiety, this never used to happen when he...

    Vets and me have spoken, infection and blood trace in urine have cleared, so that's good but also not as means its not those that are causing this behaviour. Heartbroken and coming to terms with it all and processing where we go from here.
