I have always been around dogs my whole life, whether it be small ones or very large slobbery ones. No matter the size or how scary their bark I will never back away from a challenge to earn a dogs acceptance. I own a German Shepherd who is in the teenage stage now and know the challenges of stubbornness. I walk her every other day before I work on training her in Intermediate Lessons of my own. Therefore I understand the challenges of getting the "energizer bunny" attitude out of their system in order to collect their attention. I also have helped my mom with working on her sensitive Great Dane. Different dogs need different "tricks up the sleeve" so to speak in order to reach their primitive nature.
